BWW Review:Everyman Hosts INTIMATE APPAREL's Triumphant Return to Baltimore
There seems to be a constant in Lynn Nottage's plays: the reality that people of color and women do not get many breaks or many chances for happiness or fulfillment. Whatever they do achieve along these lines is both hard-won and partial. In fact, that constant reality of limits on the available economic opportunity and on the available happiness is precisely the theme of Intimate Apparel. Heroine Esther (Dawn Ursula), being both black and female, looks for fulfillment in love, in friendship, and in work (as a seamstress and lingerie maker), and it seems at the end that she has obtained about all of any of these that is on offer.

BWW Reviews: Fords Theatre Presents Reverential OUR TOWN For Our Time
OUR TOWN gets a reverent 75th anniversary production at Ford's Theatre. Thornton Wilder's classic drama still shines, in spite of some forced moments. Director Stephen Rayne allows the play to remain imaginative, while not offering a definitive take on it.
