Women’s Project’s The Cataract Offers "Pay What You Can" Nights

For the first time ever, The Women’s Project is instituting “Pay What You Can” nights for its upcoming production of Lisa D’Amour’s The Cataract at the Julia Miles Theater. On the evenings of March 22 and 28, theatergoers can choose the price of admission to the play, although there is a suggested admission of $20. Tickets will be available at the box office beginning at 3pm on the day of performance.

Directed by Katie Pearl, The Cataract tells the story of a pair of upstanding Midwesterners (Barnaby Carpenter and Kelly McAndrew) who take in a transient couple (Vanessa Aspillaga and Tug Coker). The show’s creative team includes Rachel Hauck (set design), Sarah Beers (costume design), Sarah Sidman (lighting design), and Daniel Baker (original music).

Aspillaga has been seen in Anna in the Tropics on Broadway and in the Shakespeare in the Park production of As You Like It. Carpenter starred Off-Broadway in Humble Boy and Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme. Coker, who is making his Off-Broadway debut in The Cataract, has worked regionally at ART and the Studio Theater. McAndrew was last seen on Broadway in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
