Lyric Stage - The Temperamentals
The Lyric Stage Company of Boston presents
The Temperamentals by Jon Marans
Directed by Jeremy Johnson
March 30 -- April 28, 2012
This hit off-Broadway play tells the story of two men - the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and fashion designer Rudi Gernreich - as they fall in love while forming the first gay-rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States. Temperamental was a necessary code word in the early 1950s - danger was always an underlying presence but with it, a heady, intoxicating secrecy also hung in the air. Backstage raved The Temperamentals is an exceedingly fine play - smart, passionate, focused, and satisfying.

Saturday Night/Sunday Morning @ Lyric Stage
In the tradition of the moving Intimate Apparel and hilarious By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, Saturday Night/Sunday Morning is a “fresh, spontaneous, and highly watchable”* play that brings together seven African-American women in a Memphis beauty parlor/boarding house during the waning days of World War II. As they wrestle with the uncertainty of what the future will hold when, and if, their men return, they fight dirty — with each other and with their own fears and desires, uncovering newfound friendship and love. Katori Hall is an exciting new theatrical voice best known for her play The Mountaintop, about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final night before his assassination.
Playing 10/23 - 11/21 2015
Starring: Ramona Lisa Alexander*, Jackie Davis*, Meagan Dilworth, Jade Guerra, Cloteal L. Horne, Tasia A. Jones, Keith Mascoll*, Omar Robinson*, Jasmine Rush*.

Intimate Apparel @ Lyric Stage
From the author of By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, Intimate Apparel is a loving and evocative portrait of Esther, an independent but lonely African American seamstress in early 20th-century Manhattan who earns a living sewing exquisite lingerie for wealthy socialites uptown, and women of ill repute downtown. When Esther receives a letter from a stranger who is laboring on the Panama Canal, she begins a long-distance courtship with him, only to discover that he is not all that he seems. Disillusioned but unbroken, Esther reluctantly returns to her sewing machine to refashion her dreams from the cloth of her life’s experiences.
