Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage Directed by Valerie Joyce November 7 - 19, 2017 Travel back to 1900’s New York and meet Esther, a black seamstress with gifted hands and grand ambitions. By day, Esther sews intimate apparel for her clients — from socialites to prostitutes — while at night, she dreams of opening her own beauty parlor, where black and white women receive the same royal treatment. Determined to fashion a future as breathtaking as her garments, Esther pursues her passions while searching for intimacy in her own life. Nottage, a “rare, vital, important theatrical voice,” spins a tale of desire and heartache, weaving together fragility with the perseverance of the human spirit (The New York Times).
