Here's how Dobama described the play:

Skeleton Crew takes place in a Detroit automotive plant that’s on shaky ground. Each of the few remaining workers are trying to figure out how to move forward if their plant goes under. Shanita has to decide how she'll support herself and her unborn child, Faye has to decide where she'll live, and Dez has to figure out how to make his ambitious dreams a reality. Power dynamics shift as their manager Reggie is torn between doing right by his work family and by his own.
