Signature Theatre announce casting and dates for DETROIT '67

Signature Theatre have announced full casting and dates for the final production in the Signature Features 2021 season, Detroit ‘67.

Written by Dominique Morisseau (Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations) and directed by Candis C. Jones, Detroit ‘67 depicts abrupt changes to the lives of the Poindexter siblings during the 1967 Detroit uprising. 

In 1967 Detroit, Motown has hit its groove and the Poindexter siblings, Chelle and Lank, make ends meet by hosting parties in their basement. However, Lank and his friend Sly have dreams beyond the cellar shindigs—despite Chelle’s resistance. When Lank then brings home a mysterious white woman, the family’s simmering disagreements explode—as their streets erupt in riots—and life becomes a lot more dangerous.

All making their Signature Theatre mainstage debuts, Detroit ’67 stars Stori Ayers, JaBen Early, Valeka Jessica, Emily Kester, and Greg Alverez Reid.

The show features set design by Milagros Ponce de León, costumes by Moyenda Kulemeka, lighting by John D. Alexander, and sound by Kendric Maxey.

The performance will be available to stream from 2 August until 16 September in HD on Marquee TV and can be purchased here.
