Tony Award-winning director Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company presents the Motown music filled drama, “Detroit ’67” playing now through March 8 at the Southwest Arts Center in Atlanta, GA. The play stars Atlanta favorites Tonia Jackson, Enoch King and “Selma” actor E. Roger Mitchell. Rounding out the cast is Tinashe Kajese-Bolden and Courtney Patterson.
“It’s 1967 in Detroit and Motown music is getting the party started. Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning the basement of their late parents house into a cool, after-hours club. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings begin to clash over more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does the city around them, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the ’67 riots in America’s Motor City.”
“Detroit ’67” was written by Dominique Morrisseau and directed on the Atlanta stage by Kamilah Forbes.
