Skeleton Crew, Starring Jason Dirden, Will Transfer Off-Broadway This Spring

It's a hit! Skeleton Crew, led by Broadway alum Jason Dirden, will transfer off-Broadway this spring. Helmed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson and penned by Dominique Morisseau, the show will begin previews on May 13 and officially open on May 19 at Atlantic Theater Company’s Linda Gross Theater. The play is currently running through February 14 at Atlantic Stage 2.

In Morisseau’s third play in her 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?

Along with Dirden, the production features Wendell B. Franklin, Lynda Gravatt and Nikiya Mathis. Adesola Osakalumi takes on double duty as performer and choreographer.

Skeleton Crew will play a limited engagement through June 19 at the Linda Gross Theater.
