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

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.

Description
Rapid Descent's debut show Skin Tight features three performers, two actor/dancers and a trumpet player. Equal parts memory play, contemporary love story, and timeless drama, Gary Henderson’s script is a spare and honest narrative about an enduring romance. Kissing, fist fights, arguments, and silences find their place in this production as the cast plays with an athleticism of both the heart and body, and reveal the bare essence of Henderson’s touching text.
Visceral, athletic and passionate, Rapid Descent’s Skin Tight promises a multi-disciplinary tour-de-force that pushes the boundaries of theatrical storytelling. Directed by Megan Finlay. Featuring Beth Deitchman, Nathaniel Justiniano and Aaron Priskorn.
