Saturday, April 5th, 7:30 p.m.
Dumas Bay Centre
Federal Way, WA
Attend the ACS PSS “Build Resilience – Find Success” Retreat and attend the included April 5th evening performance of “Trouble in Mind”, a play once destined for Broadway but denied its opening because the playwright stood up to power. Now you can see Trouble in Mind at the Dumas Bay Centre in Federal Way, WA on April 5th as part of this ACS PSS retreat for BIPOC students of chemistry. Register for the retreat here to attend the performance.
Taking place entirely in a rehearsal space in an old New York theatre, Trouble in Mind brings us up close and personal with a group of artists working to open a new Broadway show. Themes of race, class, gender, and whether and when to separate the art from the artist are as poignant and critical now as they were when the show was first written. Alice Childress’ beautiful and insightful play was denied a rightful Broadway run in 1955 because she refused to change the ending. Over 60 years later, it was finally given the justice it deserved, and now we are honored to present this incredible piece of American art to our patrons.
