ABOUT
Get ready for a dazzling and provocative evening of theater with By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, the critically acclaimed play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage. This sharp, witty, and deeply entertaining production shines a spotlight on the untold stories of Black actresses in Hollywood's Golden Age, offering a fresh perspective on race, identity, and the pursuit of fame.

Step back into 1930s Hollywood, where Vera Stark, a talented and ambitious African-American actress, is determined to break through the industry's barriers. As she navigates the glamorous but treacherous world of film, Vera's journey from maid roles to the silver screen reveals that complexities and challenges of carving out a space in a world that often refuses to see her as more than a stereotype.

With its clever mix of comedy, drama, and a bit of mystery, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark takes audiences on a journey across decades, uncovering the legacy of a trailblazer whose story is as relevant today as it was then. The play's innovative storytelling, rich characters, and sharp social commentary make it a must-see for anyone who loves smart, through-provoking theater.
