The winner of the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History, Detroit '67 unfolds an explosive moment in our past - the Detroit riots in 1967.
The show centers on Chelle and her brother Lank, who are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint in 1967 Detroit. When a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over 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.
