"Many Voices, One Detroit" features a strolling dinner reception with Detroit-themed food stations, a silent auction, and a live presentation featuring a keynote speech by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Stephen Henderson. Scenes from Dream Deferred: Detroit, 1967, Matrix's upcoming, eagerly-anticipated original production will also be featured. The play is based on Dr. Xavier Nicholas' extraordinary audio interviews conducted in the aftermath of the uprising 50 years ago. Complimentary admission to museum exhibitions, featuring access to the Detroit 67: Perspectives exhibit not yet open to the public, and parking are included with each Patron and Champion ticket.
Each Champion Ticket also includes two tickets to a private performance of Matrix's world premiere production, Dream Deferred: Detroit, 1967. Each private performance includes a talk-back with actors and director and a wine and cheese reception.
