Trouble in Mind
Event
Location
Experience the Pittsburgh premiere of "Trouble in Mind," a provocative and satirical play by Alice Childress, exploring racism, sexism, and identity in 1950s theater. Rated PG-13, this must-see production captivates with its sharp commentary and powerful performances.
Originally intended for Broadway in 1955 but not realized until 2021, "Trouble in Mind" is a powerful and evocative play that explores themes of racism, sexism, identity, and class through the lens of the 1950s theatre world.
Starring the acclaimed Black actress, Wiletta Mayer, the play is a rich satire of backstage dynamics. It’s a play within a play, where life imitates art, as playwright, Alice Childress, fiercely refused to let producers define her story. Now, for the first time, "Trouble in Mind" is set to make its way to Pittsburgh, in a must-see premiere that promises to captivate audiences.
Please note, this production is rated PG-13 and includes strong profanity, racially offensive terms, and the use of haze.
