Bay Area Premiere: Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew — winner of MTC’s 2014 Sky Cooper New American Play Prize and the third installment in Morisseau’s 3-play cycle, The Detroit Project
At the start of the Great Recession, one of the last auto stamping plants in Detroit is on shaky ground. Each of the workers have to make choices on how to move forward if their plant goes under. Shanita has to decide how she'll support herself and her unborn child, Faye has to decide how and where she'll live, and Dez has to figure out how to make his ambitious dreams a reality. Power dynamics shift as their manager Reggie is torn between doing right by his work family, and by the red tape in his office.
Powerful and tense, Skeleton Crew is the third of Dominique Morisseau’s The Detroit Project trilogy, which includes Detroit ’67 and Paradise Blue.
