Trouble In Mind
by Alice Childress
Directed by Amina Robinson
With Joilet Harris as Wiletta Mayer

Saturday October 24th at 7pm

Trouble in Mind is the first professionally produced play written by Alice Childress, a pioneering African-American playwright and novelist.  Childress co-directed the first production of the play, which debuted Off-Broadway in 1955.  Trouble in Mind follows an experienced Black stage actress through rehearsals of a major Broadway production of an anti-lynching play written by a white man. It's a wry and moving look at racism, identity and ego in not only the world of theater, but in American society.
