Two siblings find themselves caught up in Detroit's 1967 riots in this new play from a top emerging American playwright.

It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots. Detroit '67 is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre. Detroit '67 was awarded the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History

"‘Crackling with humor! Fire up some Motown, get those hips moving and everything will work out fine.’" - The New York Times

"Riveting... what makes Morisseau's play so mind-blowing is the language. Her ear is in the tradition of the people's poet Langston Hughes and the people's soul collector Zora Neale Hurston; plus Morisseau is a direct heir to the magical wordsmiths named Lorraine Hansberry, Tennessee Williams, and August Wilson." - Kevin Powell, Huffington Post

"‘If Detroit ‘67’s sequels prove as good as it does, the search for the next Wilson or Hansberry could nearly be over.’" - Talkin’ Broadway
