“I Want to Branch Out.” – October 20
Sometimes the biggest moments in rehearsal happen before we even open the script.
We arrived at the programs building around 6:00 to a relatively small group. As we settled in, one ensemble member casually announced that she wanted to read King Lear that night.
I was thrilled.
“Ooh, How Treacherous!” – October 15
The group was excited to be together, and to dive into reading. It was clear that several of them had been reading their scripts over the weekend, as many came in with new ideas about which characters they were interested in playing. One announced to the group that she wants to play Kent right as she arrived. She told us that she had been sharing the script with some people throughout the facility and getting everyone excited to see our prodcution.
“There’s Power in Playing the Fool.” – October 13
I don’t think I realized that was going to happen when we first arrived at the programs building on Tuesday. It was just after 6:00, and only a handful of ensemble members had gathered. We chatted about other programs, shared stories, and waited for the rest of the group to arrive. One participant asked me what our question of the day was, and I told her we were asking everyone to reflect on when they first felt like they belonged in the ensemble.
“We Say What’s Acceptable, Which Makes the People Feel Acceptable.” – October 8
We got to programs around 5:55. As we get more members in the room, we start check in. We start around 6:30.
One member leads the ring for the first time.
“I Saw the Stage and Said ‘Honey, I’m Home!'” – October 6
Today, we moved forward with Act 1, Scene 3, which is a very short scene.
After reading it through, the ensemble discusses what is happening in the scene. They seem to connect to Goneril’s anger toward Lear.
One participant said: “She sounds angry, she wants to be left alone.”
A participant: “You rocked that,” she tells the reader.

Detroit ‘67
In Detroit ’67, award-winning Detroit playwright and DPT Advisory Board member Dominique Morisseau takes the audience on a journey to 1967 in the city of Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the ’67 uprising.
Sex With Strangers
Sex With Strangers examines social identity and how we define ourselves as artists and humans.
From Broadway to Obscurity
Dreams collide in this hilariously revealing confessional from Michigan’s own Broadway Jersey Boy. With well-known songs, dead-on celebrity impressions, and a heart-warming narrative, Eric Gutman’s autobiographical one-man musical journey From Broadway To Obscurity intimately details the rocky road to “making it”: from sweating bullets auditioning face to face with Frankie Valli himself, to rollicking backstage secrets, to his eventual life-altering change of heart. And when getting what he wants isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, Eric’s internal compass points him back to the values of his community—faith, family, and tradition.
American Hero
At a toasted subs franchise in the local strip mall, three up-and-coming “sandwich artists”—a teenager, a single mom, and a downsized refugee from corporate banking—are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when their shot at the American dream is interrupted by a series of strange events, they become unlikely allies in a post-recession world. American Herois a supersized dark comedy about life, liberty, and the pursuit of sandwiches.
