World Premiere

DETROIT '67
By Dominique Morisseau
Directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah
Featuring De'Adre Aziza, Francois Battiste, Brandon Dirden, Samantha Soule, Michelle Wilson


February 26 - March 17
Public Lab


It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots.

DETROIT '67
is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre.

will be presented as part of the 2012-2013 Public Lab Season.

ABOUT PUBLIC LAB
Now in its sixth season, Public Lab at The Public provides audiences with access to new work and Shakespeare with low priced tickets and provides emerging and established artists with a platform to further develop their work on stage and in performances with scaled-down productions (shorter rehearsal periods and smaller budgets.) Past Public Lab shows include Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson by Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman; The Good Negro by Tracey Scott Wilson; Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 8 & 9) by Suzan-Lori Parks; Neighbors by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins; Urge for Going by Mona Mansour; That Hopey Changey Thing, Sweet and Sad and Sorry by Richard Nelson; The Total Bent by Stew and Heidi Rodewald; and the introduction of Shakespeare into Public Lab with Richard Thomas in Timon of Athens, Renee Elise Goldsberry in Love’s Labor’s Lost, and Jay O. Sanders in Titus Andronicus.
