Trouble in Mind
December 18, 6:00-8:00 pm

TROUBLE IN MIND is a wise and stirring backstage comedy-drama set in a theater on the first day of rehearsals for a new Broadway drama about a lynching in the American South. The intentions of the Broadway play, written by a white author and led by a white director, are to move a white audience into sympathizing with the ‘Black experience’. However, the play-within-a-play details the interactions among the cast, a mostly Black ensemble of sophisticated, world-wise actors and their feelings about playing stereotypical characters. As the rehearsal progresses, theatre conventions and racial politics collide and the central character, Wiletta, a Black actress in a big Broadway play, must choose between truth and security.
Performance Date: February 19-21, 2024

TROUBLE IN MIND
By Alice Childress
February 16-18 & 22-25, 2024
Thursday-Saturday @ 7:30 pm |
Sunday @ 2 pm | + Saturday February 24 @ 2 pm
Wiletta Mayer is a talented Black actress who has been cast time and time again in stereotypical roles in second-rate plays. Now, she’s been given a role in an upcoming Broadway play about anti-lynching in America. But it might not be the dream role nor the enlightened play she was hoping for, given the director is a white man, but that doesn’t mean it won’t sell out.
Alice Childress’s comedic drama about the complications of race and art is as provoking as it is amusing.
