'Apparel' resumes

Two years after the COVID-19 pandemic forced Northlight Theatre to cancel its revival of Lynn Nottage's “Intimate Apparel” on the first day of its run, director Tasia A. Jones' production resumes with most of its original cast intact. That includes Mildred Marie Langford, who plays Esther, a black seamstress in 1905 Manhattan who creates fine undergarments for her clientele until she's sidetracked by a marriage proposal from a Caribbean man to whom she's been writing. New to the cast is Felicia P. Fields.

Previews at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14 and 21; 8 p.m. April 15-16; 7 p.m. April 17; 7:30 p.m. April 20 at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., Skokie. The show opens April 22. $30-$89. COVID-19 precautions: Proof of vaccination and masking required. (847) 673-6300 or northlight.org.
