ABOUT THE PLAYDominique Morisseau takes the audience on a journey to 1967, in the city of Detroit. Motownmusic is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet byturning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her wayinto their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pentupfeelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the ‘67 riots.
Detroit ‘67 was first presented Off Broadway at the Public Theater in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre in New York City on March 11, 2013.
