By the Way, Meet Vera Stark

Pulizer prize-winner Lynn Nottage gives as good a ribbing to old Hollywood as she does to marginalization in race and class in her latest satire, based on a former maid trying to make her way in the film business. Jo Bonney's staging with Sanaa Lathan as Vera Stark has earned the production stellar reviews in New York and Chicago; expect nothing less for the LA premiere.
