True Colors Presents "Detroit '67" in February - see a winner of the 2014 Kennedy Award for Drama based on American History!

True Colors Theatre Company presents Dominique Morisseau's "Detroit '67" - a hilarious and heartfelt story enhanced with Motown classics.

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. Winner of the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History

Crackling with humor! Fire up some Motown, get those hips moving and everything will work out fine.” - The New York Times
