If you haven’t yet seen BAT Theatre’s “Trouble in Mind,” be aware that there are just three more performances during its finalé weekend.

As our reviewer Alia Sinclair said:

“With an excellent cast unfolding the story, Trouble in Mind will delight, move, and stir you as only the best Art can.”

Synopsis

Trouble in Mind by Alice Childress debuted Off-Broadway in 1955. It was “re-discovered” and had its Broadway premiere on November 18, 2021. Join us to see what makes this play worth attending 70 years after it was written! It seems unbelievable this play from the 1950s fits so neatly into 2024.

1957. Rehearsals begin on what everyone hopes will be Broadway’s next big hit. But social norms and prejudices collide, and so Wiletta Mayer, a gifted Black actress, will finally get to play the lead role in a Broadway show if she’s willing to compromise her principles. Funny, moving, and a look at identity, ego, and racism in the high-stakes world of New York theatre. This 1955 comedy-drama – planned for Broadway but canceled when the playwright wouldn’t change its ending – finally made its triumphant Broadway premiere in 2021.
