Quite a beautiful cast (what do you do if Viola Davis is not in town).
Jan 7 at Signature-reading to benefit Direct Donor Action Advancing Women Worldwide.
I believe Nottage is on the board.

And who doesn't love those two actors from Ruined...
Which for me raises the topic that many of my friends prefer Intimate Apparel to Ruined.
In fact, they think IA should have won the Pulitzer and not Ruined.

I think they're wildly different plays, but they're both equally deserving of their individual merits. With INTIMATE APPAREL, a lot of people who didn't see the original production only know of it the acclaim Viola Davis got for her performance, so I think this is a really exciting opportunity for people to experience the piece anew with a tremendous group of actors.
As you say, it'll also be really interesting to get to see Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Condola Rashad playing opposite each other in another Nottage play with such a different dynamic from what their characters' relationship was like in RUINED.

Someone once told me that Tonya Pinkins was up for Mama Nadi. What's your take on that casting?

I was told that the best Mama Nadi by a friend who saw most of them, was Jenny Jules who played it in London and in D.C.
Did you see her? I haven't but wish I did. I was told she made the play more powerful.
