Trouble in Mind, written by Alice Childress, and directed by Vaun Monroe, is a powerfully incendiary and satiric drama based on the conflict of not compromising one's artistic integrity.

It follows the journey of a mixed-raced cast in 1957 as they embark upon rehearsals for a racially-charged play. Childress pokes knowing fun at actors' complaints, directors' frustration and even with the well-meaning efforts of theater professionals to overcome their racial feelings. As each character is deftly revealed, along with their cavalier approach to the scripts they hold, there is so much humor that the playwright's theme within the theme will leave the audience shocked, if not surprised, at what was before them all along.

Featuring Guest Artist Velma Austin and Ensemble Member John Mossman; as well as Ensemble Members Frank Nall and Eustace Allen; and Guest Artists Kim Chelf, Armand Fields, Tom Lally, Cola Needham and Kelly Owens.
