Trouble in Mind is Alice Childress's backstage drama about interracial politics, set on a New York City stage in the mid-1950s. A recently integrated theater company is in rehearsal for a so-called "progressive" drama, and the play-within-a-play marks the first opportunity for gifted African American actress Wiletta Mayer to play a leading lady on Broadway. By turns biting and deeply humane, this groundbreaking work challenges audiences to examine whose stories are told and what it takes to honor them with honesty and respect. The production is directed by Gregg T. Daniel and presented by A Noise Within in Pasadena.
