Written by Alice Childress
Directed by Tiana Kaye Blair
Follow an experienced Black stage actress through rehearsals of a major Broadway production in Alice Childress’s funny, moving, and ultimately shattering look at racism, identity, and ego in the high-stakes world of New York theater. As Linda Armstrong in the New York Amsterdam News says, Trouble in Mind is “a monumental work, whose time has finally come.”
A scathing indictment of racism in American commercial theatre, Trouble in Mind tells the story of Wiletta Mayer, a Black actress cast in a supposedly “progressive” play about racism by a white male author—it turns out to be anything but progressive.
Show Details: Trouble In Mind is suitable for mature audiences of all ages. The show runs 2 hours and 15 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.
Stay Late: Conversations with members of the cast take place following each performance.
