Franklin Stage Opens Season
FRANKLIN—Franklin Stage Company will open its 28th season with a production of Alice Childress’s award-winning comedy “Trouble in Mind” at Chapel Hall, 25 Institute Street, from July 5-21. The play follows Wiletta Mayer, a successful middle-aged Black actress who finally gets a break from stereotypical or typecast roles with a big Broadway production.
“It’s moving, illuminating and surprisingly funny,” said FSC Artistic Director Patricia Buckley, “but it’s also a play about work, race, and what it means to be an ally.”
All evening shows begin at 7:30, and there will be Saturday matinees at 3 p.m. and Sunday shows at 5 p.m. Admission is free, although a donation of $25.00 is suggested. For more information or to make reservations, visit www.franklinstagecompany.org.
