By the Way, Meet Vera Stark: Sly Satire Skewers Hollywood Racism

- Our Price:
- $21.50 - $27.50
Set in Hollywood over a 70-year period, Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage's pseudo-biographical comedy By the Way, Meet Vera Stark follows the life of a headstrong African-American actress who begins a career in the 1930s, at a time when her only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters. Seventy years later, film buffs reflect on the life and legacy of the controversial star, whose eventual fame and fortune came at the price of perpetuating dangerous stereotypes. Nottage artfully blends comedy and social commentary for a thoroughly entertaining yet thought-provoking picture of the cultural climate that shaped Vera Stark. Clever and illuminating, this show draws on screwball films of the 1930s and uses today's fascination with celebrity and controversy to get to the truth behind the legend, and reflect on who she might have been if she'd lived in a different time.

Report as inappropriateThis show has closed. However it was well done in every way. The acting and singing were superb. The sets and orchestra perfect. Our seats were excellent and it was a wonderful night at the theater which we might have missed had we not heard about half priced tickets from Goldstar.
