We are still hiding Calliope in an advertisement in every edition of the paper, only now you can e-mail or text your submis-sions. An entry will be drawn using a random algorithm, and the winner will receive $25. Prizes must be claimed 7 calendar days from the date your name appears in the paper.

Winnerof the 2004
New York Drama Critics Circle
and the Outer Critics Circle
Awards, Intimate Apparel is the
complex and moving portrait of
Esther, a middle-aged African-
American woman who lives in a
boarding house for women and
sews intimate apparel for women
from all walks of life. While
Esther is privy to the intimate
details of her clients’ lives, she
has been unable to fi nd a husband
with whom she can share the
intimacies of her own life. She
becomes torn between two
worlds – the idealized romance
drawn from the letters of her
Caribbean suitor, George
Armstrong, and the bittersweet
reality of an impossible relation-
ship with a Jewish shopkeeper,
Mr. Marks. Intimate Apparel
off ers a poignant commentary
on the delicacy of relationships,
the intricacies of love, and the
complexities of an era where the
color of one’s skin could dictate
the outcome of one’s life.
You’re Invited
Directed by Arthur Grothe
Starring Ashley Betts, Mary Nicholson, Daniel Ochocki, LeAnthony Walker, Clare Findley, Kyla Candies
