Seeking four actors for a production of award-winning playwright Lynn Nottage’s historical drama
“INTIMATE APPAREL”
Performance dates: February 5 - 15th 2026 BLT, Black Box Theater
Rehearsals Dec-Jan. Due to the structure of the play, there is flexibility with rehearsal scheduling.

"Intimate Apparel" is a play by award-winning playwright Lynn Nottage. It features a set of diverse and complex characters. The play is set in the early 1900s New York City and explores themes of love, loneliness, race, class, and the pursuit of dreams and true connection.
Breakdown of characters:

Esther Mills: 30’s. Black. Esther is an American seamstress living in New York. She lives in a boarding house and creates intimate apparel for women from various walks of life. She has watched the young women around her get married but has not been chosen herself. She is slightly timid but strong, and has dreams of love and a better life.

Mrs. Van Buren: 30’s. Caucasian; Southern. A wealthy socialite and one of Esther’s clients. Mrs. Van Buren orders fancy corsets from Esther. She is married, trapped, and longing for affection. She is warm and thoughtful, but naive to the impacts of her privilege.

George Armstrong: 30’s. Black. A laborer from Barbados working on the construction of the Panama Canal. He corresponds with Esther through letters before moving to NY to marry her. George is a smooth talker with a commanding presence and melodic voice.

Mr. Marks: 30’s. Romanian; Jewish Immigrant. A bright, fabric merchant. Torn between his orthodox religious devotion and the changing world. He and Esther share a connection through their passion for fabric and textiles and their loneliness.
