The Off Broadway Download Offers 500 Free Tickets to 5 Previews of Women's Project's Dark Comedy SMUDGE
With so much free music and video now available for download via the web, the NEA-rejected Women's Project, thrusting the medieval enterprise of theatre into the Internet Age, will once again offer the Off Broadway Download for its newest production, Smudge, a dark comedy by two-time Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Rachel Axler, directed by Pam Mackinnon, about the changing face of the American family and the limits of love and cheesecake.
Yes, 500 free tickets via the web for the first five previews (January 3 through 8) downloaded from the Women's Project Off Broadway Download page on the Women's Project website, www.womensproject.org/on_our_stage.htm.
Smudge begins previews at Women's Project, Julie Crosby, Producing Artistic Director, 424West 55th Street, Sunday, January 3, at 3:00pm, opens Monday, January 11, at 7:00pm for a scheduled run through February 7. Smudge features Cassie Beck, Greg Keller and Brian Sgambati.
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," said Women's Project Artistic Director Julie Crosby when referring to all the freebies on the Internet. "Recording companies are routinely offering free downloads of cuts from new albums. Television is offering and episodes. Newspapers are offering all their content free. Google is offering everything for free even if they don't own it. Women's Project is now, for only the third time, offering the free downloading of Off Broadway."

Smudge is centered on a hopeful young couple who give birth to a smudge.
