Ethics and the Theater—Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage

Play Reading and Discussion

Suggested donation of $10 includes 6:30pm reception and light refreshments.

Ethics and the Theater will present a play reading of Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage, directed by Gregory Taylor.

Thirty-five-year-old Esther believes herself too plain to attract a suitor. She dreams instead of using the money she has saved from sewing luxurious ladies’ undergarments to open a business—a beauty parlor for black women like her, where they can be pampered and respected. Then a long-distance correspondence with a man working on the Panama Canal upsets her vision of the future, bringing both hope and risk.

After the reading participate in a discussion of the ethical issues of the play led by Betsy Ungar.

Entry to our 100-year-old building and meeting rooms is available for most wheelchair users with prior arrangements. Please call ahead (212-874-5210 x 107) for setup of our portable system and plan to arrive one hour before start time.
