From acclaimed novelist, actress, and playwright Alice Childress comes Trouble in Mind, “a monumental work, whose time has finally come” (New York Amsterdam News). A funny and moving comedy-drama following an experienced Black stage actress through the first days of rehearsal for a ‘powerful’ new play about racism—a play unfortunately filled with racist caricatures, shallow dialogue, and led by a condescending white director. A workplace comedy that looks at racism, identity, ego, and the high-pressure world of 1950s Broadway.
