Trouble in Mind

It’s 1957 in New York City, and Wiletta May—an African American actor in rehearsal for a new Broadway play—doesn’t intend to cause trouble. But this time, the writer has gone too far, and, well, Wiletta rebels against one more stereotypical role in a “well-meaning race play.” The stakes are high, but this satire of backstage drama and racial tropes will make you both laugh and stop to think.
