ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK's Dale Soules Joins Irish Rep's WOMAN AND SCARECROW

Irish Repertory Theatre (Charlotte Moore, Artistic Director and Ciarán O'Reilly, Producing Director) announced today that Dale Soules ("Orange is the New Black," Hands on a Hardbody) will join the cast of the New York premiere of WOMAN AND SCARECROW by Marina Carr (The Mai, By the Bog of Cats). Directed by Ciarán O'Reilly (The Seafarer), WOMAN AND SCARECROW begins performances on May 9, 2018 at Irish Rep Theatre (132 West 22nd Street) on the W. Scott McLucas Studio Stage, with an opening night set for May 20, and will run through June 24, 2018. Tickets are on sale now through Irish Rep's box office at 212-727-2737 or online at www.irishrep.org.

Soules will join the cast as "Aunty Ah," replacing the previously announced Jill Tanner, who has withdrawn from the production due to personal reasons. The cast of WOMAN AND SCARECROW includesStephanie Roth Haberle (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) as "Woman," Pamela Gray ("The Sinner") as "Scarecrow," and Aidan Redmond (The Cripple of Inishmaan) as "Him."

Woman is dying. Mother to eight children and wife to an unfaithful husband, she is living her final hours with Scarecrow, her alter ego - her closest confident and greatest critic - as death noisily interrupts from the sidelines. Together, the women revisit her life with biting humor and brutal honesty. WOMAN AND SCARECROW is a fierce, passionate, and moving lament for a life half-lived.

WOMAN AND SCARECROW will feature set design by Charlie Corcoran (The Seafarer), costume design by Whitney Locher (The Emperor Jones), lighting design by Michael Gottlieb (Three Small Irish Masterpieces), and sound design & original music by Ryan Rumery (Admissions).

The performance schedule for WOMAN AND SCARECROW is as follows: Wednesdays at 3pm and 8pm; Thursdays at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm.

Tickets to WOMAN AND SCARECROW are available for $50. Tickets are on sale now through Irish Rep's box office by calling 212-727-2737, or online at www.irishrep.org.

Currently on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage is THE SEAFARER by Conor McPherson. Directed by Ciarán O'Reilly (The Emperor Jones) and starring Matthew Broderick (Shining City), THE SEAFARER opened on April 18 and was recently extended for a run through May 24, 2018.
