  • B6 October 27, 2016 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT School of Stage and Screen presents Madeline Moore Junior Editor On October 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Studio The- ater of the Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center, Western Caro- lina Universitys School of Stage and Screen held their opening night per- formance of Intimate Apparel. Brenda Lilly, Assistant Professor for the School of Stage and Screen, directed the play. - The play was written by Lynn Nottage, an award-winning Ameri- can playwright and screenwriter. According to her website, she also teaches in the theater departments at both Co- lombia School of the Arts and Yale University, in addition to being the co-founder of the produc- tion company Market Roads Films. = Western Carolinas production of Intimate Apparel was captivat- ing for its entire dura- tion. The actors were well cast and worked well together to create good stage presence and chemistry. The relatively small cast and stage area made for an intimate feel that was appropriate for the subject of the play. ~ Intimate Apparel is a play dealing with racial and class tensions at the turn of the twenti- eth century through the life of an African-Amer- ican seamstress living in Manhattan named Esther. Esther makes intimate clothing items for all kinds of women including prostitutes and white socialites. Aside from this, the play further explores intima- cy and love between the characters. The three main female leads; Esther, Mrs. Van Buren, and Mayme who were portrayed by Najha Kay Forbey, Lea Parker, and Sarina Montgomery, carried the performance. They truly embodied. their characters with their talent and obvious connection to each other as performers. The rest of the cast fell into place perfectly around them while also showing their own personal strengths as actors. The costumes, which were designed by Molly Morgan, were beautiful and fit perfectly into the time period and overall historical aura. Exqui- site corsets with inter- esting colors and designs stood out, helping to build on Esthers char- acter by portraying her talent and stylistic taste as a seamstress. The intimate clothing items were opposite of her plain-Jane characteris- tics, giving an interest- ing contrast and insight into another part of her personality. Performing the play in a black box studio theater provided an inti- mate experience for the audience. A black box studio is asmall, simple performance space often with no raised stage and in a small room with black walls. This sort of atmosphere allows for the rather small audi- ence to be closer to the performers than they would be in your aver- age theater. Because of the already small and minimal factors in the play, this environment seemed appropriate and added to the entirety of the performance. The set design, de- signed by Brigham Johnson, created the perfect scene for the play to take place. The way the stage was set up meant there was very minimal movement between scenes. The set was never completely switched out for another. Instead; small pieces of furniture were moved, removed or added to in- dicate that the scene was taking place in one of few particular settings. This at first was a little confusing, but after all of the characters and situa- tions were introduced, it was easy to catch on and realize where the scenes were moving. Overall, the School of Stage and Screen put on a lovely and remarkable performance of Inti- mate Apparel. Anyone who did not see the play truly missed out. Upcoming perfor- mances include In the Soundless Awe, which will be held November 16-20 in the Hoey Audi- torium.
