Mr. Marks News

Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage takes great pride in the survival of black women through the ages. In her Pulitzer winner Ruined, it's how Congolese women have survived civil war, in her newest By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, it's blacks' struggles in the acting profession, and in Intimate Apparel, her most widely known play, it's a black seamstress who must fight for recognition and love at the turn of the 20th century. Now onstage in a handsome revival at the Pasadena Playhouse, Intimate Apparel has taut direction from Sheldon Epps and a stellar cast led by luminous Vanessa Williams as Esther.

The Pasadena Playhouse presents tonight's opening night performance of INTIMATE APPAREL. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage and directed by Sheldon Epps, INTIMATE APPAREL will perform through December 2, 2012, at The Pasadena Playhouse.
