Jason Dirden, Lynda Gravatt, and More Set for Dominique Morisseau's Skeleton Crew

Full casting has been announced for Skeleton Crew, Dominique Morisseau's new play, which will run at the Atlantic Theater Company's Atlantic Stage 2 from January 19-February 14. Ruben Santiago-Hudson directs.

The five-member company is made up of Jason Dirden, Wendell B. Franklin, Lynda Gravatt, Nikiya Mathis, and Adesola Osakalumi. In the work, the third of Morisseau's Detroit trilogy, a makeshift family of workers at the last exporting auto plant in the city navigate the possibility of foreclosure. Power dynamics shift and they are pushed to the limits of survival. When the line between blue collar and white collar gets blurred, how far over the lines are they willing to step?

Skeleton Crew will feature scenic design by Michael Carnahan, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Rui Rita, original music and sound design by Rob Kaplowitz, and choreography by Adesola Osakalumi.

Morisseau is also the author of Detroit '67, Paradise Blue, and Sunset Baby. She is the recipient of the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History and the 2015 Steinberg Playwright Award.
