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 Jul 15 2012We went as a family with my two children, 11 and 8. Both were enthralled and it was such a lovely setting for the show. I highly recommend this show and this venue!

Written on Jun 04 2012This was my first experience at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. It was epic. Picnic in the garden before the wonderful outdoor production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The production was top notch. The best Shakespeare I have seen in the 10 years I've been in Los Angeles. Fantastic acting, costumes and their use of the outdoor stage and surroundings was very creative and fit perfectly within the story. I cannot wait to return to this theatre to experience another one of their productions.
