By Lynn Nottage This biting comedy offers a glimpse into the life of Vera Stark, a headstrong African American actress who begins her career at a time when her only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters. By the Way, Meet Vera Stark paints a vivid picture of the cultural climate in 1930s Hollywood. Location: Joan and Donald Schaeffer Black Box Theater, Joseph G. Shapiro Family Hall, South Campus.
