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
