Manhattan Theatre Club To Present The Broadway Premiere of Dominique Morisseau's SKELETON CREW
In the winter of 2022, Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC) plans to present the Broadway premiere of Skeleton Crew, written by Tony Award® nominee Dominique Morisseau (Ain’t Too Proud, Pipeline) and directed by Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues, August Wilson’s Jitney) at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
Timely and gripping, Skeleton Crew takes place in 2008 Detroit. A small automotive
factory is on the brink of foreclosure, and a tight knit family of workers
hangs in the balance. With uncertainty everywhere, the line between blue collar
and white collar becomes blurred, and this working family must reckon with
their personal loyalties, their instincts for survival and their ultimate hopes
for humanity. The New York Times gives this astonishing work a
Critic's Pick and cheers, "A very fine new play... warm-blooded, astute,
deeply moral and deeply American." And The Amsterdam News hails it
as "a prime example of how theatre imitates life... intense, touching and
funny."
Exact
performance dates and further casting information for Skeleton Crew, and all MTC productions, will
be announced at a later date.
Like the rest of the theatre community, Manhattan Theatre Club continues to closely follow the COVID-19 health and safety guidance of New York City and State.
“When conditions allow, everyone at MTC looks forward to safely having artists and audiences back in Broadway’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre and at our off-Broadway home at New York City Center,” MTC Artistic Director Lynne Meadow said.
In the meantime, MTC’s Virtual Season continues online
with theatrical experiences, initiatives, and events that audiences can enjoy
without leaving their homes. Details can be found at www.manhattantheatreclub.com/virtual.
