Trouble in Mind
Broadway, 1957. In rehearsals for a groundbreaking racially integrated production, the leading actress must choose between the role of a lifetime or compromising her values, in this bitingly satiric classic penned by a real-life groundbreaker.
As the first African-American woman to have her work professionally produced on the New York stage, Alice Childress lived this story and tells it true.
“Wise and extraordinarily winning” “scathingly funny” “one of the best plays about racism ever written”The Washington Post
