Intimate Apparel, a poignant drama by Lynn Nottage, explores the life of Esther, a Black seamstress in early 20th-century New York City who navigates love and loneliness while crafting intimate garments for a diverse clientele. As she corresponds with George, a Caribbean man, her aspirations for love clash with her feelings for Mr. Marks, a Hasidic shopkeeper. With a cast featuring characters such as Esther, played by an African-American woman in her 30s, the production delves into themes of desire, identity, and societal expectations. Directed by Lottie Porch, the play will be presented by Compass Rose Theater from September 13 to October 6, 2024.

Founded in the spring of 2011, Compass Rose Theater is a small non-profit professional theater, which produces productions of the highest caliber. Driven by our passion to produce plays which leave the audience moved, and even transformed by the experience of the show, we hire actors and theater artists who are accomplished professionals to produce plays that range from classic to contemporary. Discovering the truth of each script, and striving to achieve excellence in each production, we hold ourselves to the standards. In April 2013, we relocated from our first home, a renovated storefront, moving to a former rug cleaners, which we rehabbed into a lobby, classroom, and 80 seat theater.
