Brooks Ashmanskas, Rebecca Brooksher, Francesca Choy-Kee, Rich Dreher, Zackary Grady, Brent Langdon, Adam Lerman, Kristine Nielsen, John O’Creagh, Jessica Stone, Jon Patrick Walker, Jeremy Webb, and Paxton Whitehead will make up the cast of the McCarter Theatre Center’s production of Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer, to play October 13-November 1, with an opening on October 16. Nicholas Martin will direct.

In this 17th-century Restoration-style comedy, sparks fly when young urbanite Charles Marlow arrives at a country estate to court Kate Hardcastle, only to take her father for an innkeeper and her for a saucy barmaid.

The design team will include David Korins (sets), Gabriel Berry (costumes), Ben Stanton (lighting), and Drew Levy (sound).
