The Detroit Project. Dominique Morisseau

Three provocative dramas, <em>Paradise Blue</em>, <em>Detroit &rsquo;67 </em>and <em>Skeleton Crew</em>, make up Dominique Morisseau&rsquo;s <em>The Detroit Project</em>, a play cycle examining the sociopolitical history of Detroit. Each play sits at a cross-section&mdash;of race and policing, of labor and recession, of property ownership and gentrification&mdash;and comes alive in the characters and relationships that look toward complex,&nbsp;hopeful futures. With empathetic storytelling and an ear for the voices of her home community, Morisseau brings to life the soul of Detroit, past and present.
