“Intimate Apparel” Performance at Bay Street 

Bay Street Theater presents “Intimate Apparel” from July 4 - 30, 2017. Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and Tony nominee Lynn Nottage,  the Bay Street production is directed by Bay Street's Artistic Director Scott Schwartz and stars Kelly McCreary as Esther Mills (McCreary currently appears on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Maggie Grace on television's ABC network). The cast of "Intimate Apparel" features Portia as Mrs. Dickson; Blake DeLong as Mr. Marks; Julia Motyka as Mrs. Van Buren; Edward O'Blenis as George and Shayna Small as Mayme.

"Intimate Apparel" tells the story of Esther Mills, a skilled African American seamstress with her own successful business in 1905, making lingerie for society ladies and “ladies of the night.” Lonely, she searches for something more in her life through a pen pal poet working on the Panama Canal and a Hasidic shopkeeper who shares his exquisite finds of fabrics and maybe something more.

Tickets are $30 to $125 with special rates for Students and those under 20 and 30 years old. Click here to purchase tickets online and for details.
