TROUBLE IN MIND
By Alice Childress
Directed by Dawn Ursula

Join Everyman Theatre’s Female Resident Company Members for an immersive theatre-going experience where a cast of professional actors perform staged readings in an our intimate rehearsal hall.

Patrons will mix and mingle with actors before and after each reading. Curated and directed by the women of Everyman Theatre’s Resident Acting Company, this year’s Salon selections complement each show of the Main Stage season, feature women playwrights’ work and will be hosted by well-known and accomplished women in our area.

Last year’s audiences were captivated by The Wedding Band, so we are thrilled to close out the Salon Series second season with another Alice Childress play, Trouble in Mind. In this show within a show, veteran African American actress, Wiletta Mayer, has been cast as the lead in an interracial Broadway show helmed by famous white director, Al Manners. But at every turn lies the racial realities of 1955. Simultaneously a witty love letter to the theatre and a call for equality, Trouble in Mind reminds us that we all have a part to play in the fight for civil rights.
