This years shows are:
Skeleton Crew by Dominique Morisseau
November 5, 6, 12 & 13
- At the start of the Great Recession, one of the last auto stamping plants in Detroit is on shaky ground. Each of the workers have to make choices on how to move forward if their plant goes under. Shanita has to decide how she'll support herself and her unborn child, Faye has to decide how and where she'll live, and Dez has to figure out how to make his ambitious dreams a reality. Power dynamics shift as their manager Reggie is torn between doing right by his work family, and by the red tape in his office. Powerful and tense, Skeleton Crew is the third of Dominique Morisseau's Detroit cycle trilogy.
Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin
March 18,19, 25 & 26
-In this action-packed samurai story set inside the halls of an all-American high school, Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin by Qui Nguyen tells the tale of Emi Edwards, a high school geek gurl who is fighting to overthrow the cruel shoguns of her school. However in her journey to right wrongs, will her own cravings for popularity and power corrupt her quest to save the school? Will she be able to establish a new world order? Or will violence just beget more violence?
Let's Eat!
May 13, 14, 20 & 21
-Six directors take on six short plays to explore our relationships with food and drink.
Auditions will be announced at a later date.
