BEREA, OH – The Department of Theatre and Dance at Baldwin Wallace University presents Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel directed by Shinnerrie Jackson.

 

Set in New York in 1905, when social divides such as race, religion, and class were the norm, Intimate Apparel follows the story of Esther Mills, an African-American woman making an unlikely living for herself by sewing extraordinary lingerie. Esther’s artistic talents and strong work ethic allow her access into the lives of many who wear her lingerie, from prostitutes to the wealthy white patrons of the era. This moving production explores the depths of human interaction, social classes, and the drastic measures humans go through just to connect with one another.
