Academy of Art University’s School of Acting is proud to announce the premiere of its production of Detroit, a new play by Lisa D’Amour. The play will be held at the Sutter Street Theater on April 14 through April 22 at 8:00 p.m. The event is free for Academy students, faculty, and staff. General admission is $15.

Detroittells the story of two couples, both at turning points in their lives, who find themselves suddenly living next door to each other. What they discover about each other and themselves over backyard BBQs and shared dreams leads to a surprising adventure.

The play premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago in 2010 and subsequently ran off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in Fall 2012. Detroitwas a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Prizes. It won the Obie Award for “Best New American Play” in 2013.

The play is directed by the Academy’s artistic director Clark Houston Lewis and features Academy students Greg Snyder, Renee Rogoff, Jessie Rankin, and Roman Reyes. In addition, the production includes guest artist William Davis.
