By the Way, Meet Vera Stark

BY THE WAY, MEET VERA STARK By: Lynn Nottage Directed by: Michelle Aguillon Assistant Director: Jenny Fielding Featuring: Lisa Miller-Gillespie, Angela Courtney Rossi, Trevor Gerard Frederick, Vicki Lee, Shani Farrell, Dustin Teuber, and Jon Nuquist A 70-year journey through the life of Vera Stark, a headstrong Black maid and budding actress – a funny and irreverent look at racial stereotypes during the Golden Age of Hollywood! Vera Stark works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging movie star grasping at her fading career. Rubbing shoulders with studio heads and movie directors, Vera lands a prominent role in a costume epic starring Gloria, but it is Vera’s portrayal of a slave turns that out to be groundbreaking and career-making. However, decades later, scholars and film buffs still argue about Vera’s legacy in Hollywood, and the impact that race had on her controversial career. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage uses the pace and satire of 1930s movie comedies to take you on a seventy-year journey through Vera’s life and the cultural climate that shaped her. May 19-June 3, Friday and Saturdays at 8pm, Sunday 5/28 at 2pm.
