Theater With a View, Pottstown’s professional Equity immersive theater company, returns in August with an explosive production of Lisa D’Amour’s critically-acclaimed play Detroit, staged entirely outdoors at the Sycamore Hill estate. This site-specific production features a cast of notable New York City actors, and given the non-traditional nature of the outside staging, no two performances are the same.

In a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit, Ben and Mary see sudden signs of life at the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny over for a barbecue. As the action unfolds, we learn that Sharon and Kenny met at rehab, neither is employed, and they don’t own a stick of furniture. The quintessential American back-yard party turns quickly turns into something more dangerous— and filled with potential.
