Skeleton Crew in Osseo

Yellow Tree Theatre presents... SKELETON CREW by Dominique Morisseau A Co-Production with New Dawn Theatre directed by Austene Van JANUARY 31 - MARCH 1 Yellow Tree Theatre is teaming up with New Dawn Theatre Company for the regional premiere of Skeleton Crew, the third installment of what playwright Dominique Morisseau calls her Detroit Project. Directed by New Dawn founding artistic director, Austene Van, Skeleton Crew features Twin Cities’ actors Mikell Sapp, Jamecia Bennett, and Darius Dotch as well as NYC-based actor Nadége Matteis who will be making her Twin Cities debut. CRITIC’S PICK! “Clifford Odetts’ dramas come to mind and so does the great Pittsburgh cycle of August Wilson. But Skeleton Crew is squarely in the tradition of Arthur Miller…A deeply moral and deeply American play.” – The New York Times WHERE Yellow Tree Theatre 320 Fifth Avenue SE Osseo, MN 55369 PERFORMANCE TIMES Wed. - Sat. @ 7:30pm, Sun. @ 2:00pm Added matinees Wed.

Shanita, a second-generation plant worker, has to support herself and her unborn child. Faye, a union rep on the line for 29 years, faces homelessness. Dez, young and hot-headed, has dreams bigger than the plant but ambition has made him reckless. Power dynamics shift as the plant’s closing becomes imminent, and their foreman, Reggie, is torn between doing right by his work and family, and by the red tape in his office. Powerful and poetic, Skeleton Crew is an emotionally bracing and relevant story of working class survival amidst the eroding American dream. “A deeply moral and deeply American play.” – The New York Times CAST: Jamecia Bennett*, Darius Dotch*, Nadege Matteis, and Mikell Sapp* Content advisory Skeleton Crew contains adult themes and language that some may consider “strong.” We recommend this play for high-school-aged patrons and up.
