Synopsis
Set during the rehearsals of a Broadway show, Trouble in Mind centers on Wiletta Mayer, an experienced African American actress grappling with the stereotypical role she’s been given. As the rehearsal process unfolds, Wiletta confronts the white director’s problematic vision and the industry’s deep-seated racial biases. This incisive drama by Alice Childress offers a critical look at the dynamics of race, power, and art, challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of what theater can and should represent.
