TROUBLE IN MIND to Open October 4 th at Actors Co-op Theatre
The award-winning Actors Co-op Theatre Company presents TROUBLE IN MIND
written by Alice Childress, directed by Kimberly Hébert Gregory and produced by
Crystal Yvonne Jackson. The play tackles the harsh truths of racism of the 50s and 60s in
American theatre. Set during rehearsals for a Broadway show, the story centers on
Wiletta Mayer, an African American actress who has long been cast in stereotypical
roles. As rehearsals progress, Wiletta’s fight for dignity clashes with the realities of the
industry's racial biases, threatening her career.
The cast features the talents of Rodrick Jean-Charles (Sheldon Forrester), Larry
Eisenberg (Henry), Freedom (John Nevins), Sophia Kalugin (Judy Sears), John Marzilli
(Bill O’Wray), Spencer Rowe (Al Manners), Brendan Shannon (Eddie Fenton), Lorinda
Hawkins Smith (Millie Davis), and Kimi Walker (Wiletta Mayer).
TROUBLE IN MIND runs October 4th through November 10th, Fridays and Saturdays
