SUMMARY:Skeleton Crew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\nArtistic Director Kenny Leon and True Colors Theatre Company are thrilled to present Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew beginning this February. Part of Morisseau’s The Detroit Project trilogy\, Skeleton Crew is an insightful drama about the value of work to workers and what happens when their livelihoods are threatened by layoffs. Set in 2008’s Great Recession\, Skeleton Crew tells the story of factory workers at the last auto stamping plant in Detroit and their uncertainty as rumors of their plant’s imminent closing stir. Jamil Jude\, True Colors’ Associate Artistic Director\, returns to the director’s chair after a successful run of August Wilson’s King Hedley II last spring. \nDez\, Shanita\, Faye\, and Reggie are a makeshift “work-family”. Dez and Shanita are young people at the start of their careers who hope to make good on their dreams before the opportunity passes. Faye has worked at the plant for over 29 years but the retirement package looks a lot better for those who reach 30 years. Reggie\, their manager\, is stuck holding the company line – he wants to prepare his team for the plant’s closing but upper management requires his silence. Each must balance their own desires\, their loyalty to one another\, and their survival with the need for meaningful work. \n\n  \n“Dominique’s writing is profound\,” shared director Jamil Jude. “Her voice is a blend of the beautiful poetry of the greatest writers of the diaspora and the laser-focused social critique of the modern age. She creates worlds with her specificity that honor her hometown of Detroit while giving everyone\, regardless of their upbringing\, something to chew on.” Jamil added\, “It’s a joy to bring the words of one of America’s best living writers back to the True Colors stage\,” referencing the 2015 production of Morisseau’s Detroit ’67\, the second installment of Morisseau’s The Detroit Project trilogy. Skeleton Crew is the third play in the trilogy; True Colors will produce Paradise Blue\, the first work in the trilogy\, next season. Playwright Morisseau received a McArthur “Genius” Grant in October of 2018 and was recognized as one of the top 20 most-produced playwrights in the 2018 – 19 season by American Theatre magazine. \nThis production contains adult language and simulated smoking. \nReviews\nSkeleton Crew Gets Timely\, Formidable Production At True Colors | ArtsATL \nCo-stars lend heft to True Color’s Skeleton Crew | AJC

SUMMARY:FREE Play Reading: “Wrong River” by Josh Wilder
DESCRIPTION:FREE RSVP \nDescription\n\n\n\nTrue Colors Theatre Company is proud to introduce a series of staged readings with themes that parallel those in our season productions. We will examine our world through the eyes of characters while creating intimate occasions to engage with patrons. \nIn advance of our production of Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew\, we will produce a staged reading of Josh Wilder’s Wrong River. Join us as we explore how the decisions of governments and corporations can negatively affect the masses and create moments of crisis. \nAs the water crisis in Flint\, Michigan begins to make national headlines\, a young couple struggling to make ends meet scrambles to fight for a better future for their daughter–– even if it means losing everything they have. \nThe Flint Water Crisis sparked national outrage and a grassroots movement that encouraged people from across the globe to send bottles of clean drinking water to Flint’s residents. As we celebrate a season of Moments that make the Movement\, we are excited to pair our production of Skeleton Crew with Wrong River\, two plays that humanize our country’s recent struggles. \nEvent Schedule: \n7:30 PM | Pointing out Parallels – An Introduction of Themes \n7:45 PM | Wrong River Staged Reading\, directed by Danye Brown \n9:15 PM | Post-Show Discussion

SUMMARY:Coping in Corporate Cultures: Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Navigating through hierarchal structures\, bursting through glass ceilings\, and dodging micro-aggressions can sometimes make going to work feel like training for the Olympics. This conversation will focus on ways to thrive in these environments\, and to have open conversations without fear. \nThese conversations are the springboard for the themes and issues presented in the plays we produce. Hosted by Associate Artistic Director\, Jamil Jude\, the conversations bring subject matter experts and the community together for 90 minutes of sharing and learning.
