Kelly Hutchinson, Andy Paris, Maggie Siff Set for Women’s Project’s Or

Kelly Hutchinson and Andy Paris will join the previously announced Maggie Siff in Liz Duffy Adams’ Or, to be presented by The Women’s Project at the Julia Miles Theater, October 29-November 22, with an opening set for November 3. Wendy McClellan will direct.

The comedy is about Aphra Behn getting out of the spy trade and into show biz. Siff, who played the recurring role of department store heiress Rachel Menken on Mad Men, will play Behn. The creative team will include Zane Pihlstrom (sets), Andrea Lauer (costumes), Deb Sullivan (lights), and Elizabeth Rhodes (sound).

Next up will be Rachel Axler’s Smudge (January 3-February 7), directed by Pam MacKinnon. In this dark comedy, a hopeful young couple gives birth to a smudge. Axler is a staff writer of NBC’s Parks & Recreation and a former Jon Stewart Daily Show staff writer.

The world premiere of Sheila Callaghan’s Lascivious Something will be the third main stage production, to run May 2-June 6. The play concerns an American and his young Greek bride who escape to an island, plant a small vineyard and are visited by an uninvited, fractious American woman. It will be presented in association with Cherry Lane Theatre, and will be directed by Daniella Topol.

The Women’s Project will also present a Hothouse workshop production of Talk Soon by Joy Tomasko, directed by Meiyin Wang with choreography by Martha Mason and new media visual design by Wendy Richmond in March 2010.
