Discussion | Women’s Pay Equity: Getting Even
It is well known that women in the United States are paid, on average, 77 cents for every dollar that a man earns. Sometimes, this is a result of women getting paid less for the same work. In other cases, women are under-represented in higher-earning positions or take different career paths due to family responsibilities. The wage gap varies among women and is larger for women of color and women in particular sectors and occupations.
This event to explore this gap between men’s and women’s wages. As part of the panel discussion for the event, key actors, including economists, government representatives, activists, and corporate leaders come together to share their experiences.

Tour | High Line Tour
The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

A two-act improv show featuring a cast of 16 improvisers presenting a big event and everything that leads to it. In the first act, 8 improvisers frantically prepare for the event and experience the wackiness that ensues behind the scenes. In the second, completely new players take the stage to show us the actual event… but will this most important night turn out the way we hoped, or crash and burn (in the best way) because of what happened before? How will both shows weave together to seamlessly and hilariously present the lives of 16 people involved in one event, in different times? Before and After answers these titillating questions while making you laugh through a whole day and night.
