TROUBLE IN MIND
May 25 - June 18, 2023
By Alice Childress
Directed by Christopher D. Betts (Joyce C. Willis Directing Fellow)
A 1950s landmark play that still rings true today.
This dramatic satire tracks the nuanced, simmering tension between the artists of a biracial company working on a Broadway-bound premiere. As they rehearse, questions about the play emerge, igniting an impassioned debate about race, power, the roles we play on stage, and the roles we play in life. In this timely revival, the theater becomes an arena wherein we explore how - and why - we use our voices.
