She has paid her dues and is ready for her star turn, but is this play as enlightened as she&#8217;s hoping? \u00a0<em>Chaos<\/em>\u00a0is written by a liberal white male and directed by a white male. Willetta&#8217;s journey shows us that theatrical practices often put show business and integrity on a collision course. When this collision also includes race and gender, it is a compelling and potent dramatic brew.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Trouble in Mind<\/em>, written in 1955 by Alice Childress, creates a theatrical microcosm with real world reverberations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/augsburgtheatre\/sets\/72157650745955347\/\">Production Photos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trouble in Mind By Alice Childress Directed by Dominic Taylor January 30,31, February 5,6,7 at\u00a07 p.m. February 1 and 8 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":111,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2015-2016-season-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/111"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52905"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52906,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52905\/revisions\/52906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/theater\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
