Diesel Heart Written by Brian Grandison in collaboration with Melvin Carter Jr. March 11–April 2, 2023 1950s-1970s. Born and raised in St. Paul’s Rondo neighborhood, the story of Melvin Carter Jr. begins at a time of racial tension in the 1950s and 1960s. During this time Melvin Carter Jr. struggles in school, questions his worth, and turns to fighting and trouble in the neighborhood. This play, inspired by Melvin Carter, Jr.’s book, DIESEL HEART, is a story that has you crying and laughing with joy. Melvin’s story reminds us that the journey we take to finding our voice is never clean or straightforward.
