Detroit, Michigan. 2008. What do you do when the industry that has supported you, your family, and your entire region threatens to close up and go away?In the breakroom of the last small auto plant still standing, a makeshift family of workers swap stories, share dreams, and take pride in their work. When confronted with the possibility of the factory closing, power dynamics shift and each is pushed to the limits of survival.
This gripping play explores how loyalties and survival collide when a world — our world — changes. Inspired by August Wilson’s Century Cycle, Dominique Morisseau’s bold and compassionate new play is part of The Detroit Project play cycle. It is poetic and powerful.
This production is helmed by returning guest director Dee Dee Batteast and is brought to life by a superb cast of performers. Farmers Alley Theatre is thrilled to welcome back critically-acclaimed actor Dwandra Nickole Lampkin as Faye. Dwandra, also a professor at Western Michigan University, was previously seen in Farmers Alley Theatre’s productions of The Christians, Clybourne Park, and Doubt, A Parable. Her one-woman show The Conviction of Lady Lorraine was also produced by the theatre. Joining her are WMU graduate Jessica Krolik as Shanita, Detroit based performer Dan Johnson as Reggie, and local actor Xavier D. Bolden as Dez.
