Trouble in Mind

Alice Childress’ play, Trouble in Mind  is a sometimes-acrid backstage comedy, a frank look at mid-1950s social attitudes, and a commentary on the discomfort between blacks and whites that remains relevant today. Director G.D. Kimble will present this semi-satirical study of racism in the theater world at the LSU Shaver Theatre September 27–October 6 (no performance on Monday, September 30), with a preview performance on Thursday, September 26 ($9). 7:30 pm Tuesday–Saturday, 2 pm Sunday. $11–$19. lsu.edu/cmda/theatre.
