The Foothill College Theatre Arts Department’s virtual performance readings of Lynn Nottage’s “Intimate Apparel” are scheduled 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Directed by Thomas Times, each reading will be performed live and for free.
Set in 1905 New York City, “Apparel” is about Esther, a Black seamstress whose skills and discretion are much in demand, enabling her to stuff a goodly sum of money into her quilt over the years. Her plan is to find the right man and use the money she has saved to open a beauty parlor where Black women will be treated as royally as the white women she sews for.
