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.

Written on Sep 04 2008Highest possible rating of this clearly well rehearsed and polished presentation. The actress is amazing - thought I was really seeing Marilyn in the flesh. Don't miss this treat if it comes back to an LA theatre.

Written on Apr 02 2007This is truly a one woman show. No other actors, background music or anything else, just wonderful talent of a beautiful woman. I think she really captured Marilyn in looks, voice, and style. I loved the show and have been recommending it to friends.
Thanks.
