Wake up your winter with BAT Theatre’s comedy-drama ‘Trouble in Mind,’ opening this Friday night, Feb. 9

SPONSORED:

Burien Actors Theatre (BAT) presents the comedy-drama Trouble in Mind, opening this Friday, Feb. 9, and continuing through March 3, 2024. Trouble in Mind, written by trailblazing playwright Alice Childress, is a funny, moving and insightful look at who we are and who we want to be.

It’s 1958. An integrated theater company gathers to rehears a new play—the one they hope will be the next big hit. Against the backdrop of misperceptions and stereotypes within the company, veteran Black actress Wiletta Mayer grapples with a once-in-a-lifetime choice to play the lead in a Broadway show or compromise her principles.

The show contains some mature language and mature content, including the N-word. BAT’s policy is to inform audiences of content, but to allow individuals to make decision they feel are appropriate for themselves or the youth and teens in their care.

There will be post-show discussions Feb. 18 and Feb. 25.
