Kicking off the season is the groundbreaking two-time Pulitzer-winning dramatist, Lynn Nottage play, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark. In this highly entertaining, mischievously political, irreverent comedy, Nottage draws upon the screwball films of the 1930s to take an incisive and wry look at the racial stereotypes in Hollywood. In a seventy-year journey through the life of Vera Stark, an ambitious maid and budding actress, Nottage upends the stereotypes in racial typecasting and beats Hollywood at its own game. Acclaimed actor, director and educator, Adrienne D. Williams directs.
