Bluma Appel Theatre

Feb 8, 2010-Mar 6, 2010 – Mon to Sat 8pm, Wed 1:30pm, Sat 2pm,

As rich and beautiful as finely-crafted lingerie, Intimate Apparel is a love story set in New York in 1905, amid the ragtime music of Scott Joplin.

Esther, an ambitious and independent African-American woman has aspirations in conflict with turn of the century society. A gifted seamstress who has gained financial independence by sewing elegant undergarments for socialites and prostitutes, she dreams of opening her own boutique. When George, a charming Caribbean islander employed in the construction of the Panama Canal, writes to her, a romance begins that promises to help her realize her dreams.
