Previews: Powerstories Theatre And The Studio@620 Unite for Cadillac Crew
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Oct 21, 2025

Cadillac Crew isn’t just a play—it’s a reclamation. It restores the voices of women whose courage powered a movement, reminding us that the work of equality is never finished. Two theatres, one story, and a shared conviction: that the past still speaks—and when it does, it demands to be heard. “I can use my talent to further voice where I stand—and I stand for Black narratives and that history should not be erased,” says actress Andresia Moseley, who portrays Dee. “Our stories need to be told, and as long as I choose the stage, they will be. I am not just doing this work. I am it.”
