“Ultimately, the play’s focus is not on what happened in Detroit in July 1967. It is on the way those events affect a family — and the subsequent need for that family to rebuild their lives. PST’s Detroit ’67 succeeds because it makes that distinction clear.” — Donald Sanborn, Town Topics

Detroit ‘67

By Dominique Morisseau

Directed by Anike Sonuga

It’s 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the 67 race riots.

Black Theater Celebration

The July 23rd evening show and the July 30th matinee are dedicated to the Black community. Theater has not always been accessible to nonwhite communities, and we want to create a space where people can not only see themselves in the characters onstage, but also in their fellow audience members as they experience theater together. In order to address this, tickets will be discounted for these shows. If you do not identify with the aforementioned group, we kindly ask that you consider coming to one of the other performance dates which can be found below.

Dates

July 22-24 and July 28-31
