Opens May 4: ‘Skeleton Crew’ at the Guthrie offers tale of black auto workers’ struggles
From the Minneapolis Labor Review, April 20, 2024
MINNEAPOLIS — Set in Detroit during the Great Recession of 2008, the play “Skeleton Crew” portrays the struggles of black auto workers facing the prospect of their plant closing.
“Skeleton Crew” will run May 4 through June 9 at the Guthrie Theater.
Tickets are $29 to $82.
The third work in a trilogy by playwright Dominique Morisseau, the play premiered on Broadway in 2022 and won three Tony Award nominations.
Critic Bill Marx, however, in 2018 wrote for artsfuse.org that the script fails in depicting the role of the workers’ union.
Post performance discussions are planned for five dates and a BIPOC Community night is set for May 17.
