Main Street Theater presents Trouble in Mind

eventdetail

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.

Trouble in Mind is a funny, moving, and ultimately a shattering look at racism, identity, and ego in the high-stakes world of New York theatre. The 1955 comedy-drama - planned for Broadway but canceled when the playwright wouldn’t tone down its message - finally made its triumphant premiere in 2021.
