St. Louis Actors' Studio, in collaboration with Ron Himes, the founder and producing director of the Black Rep, presents Palmer Park play by Joanna McClelland Glass, which centers on five couples in the Palmer Park neighborhood of Detroit after the race riots of 1967.
"Their integrated lives are threatened when the high performing neighborhood school is forced to accept children from an adjacent working-class neighborhood. Racial harmony and friendships are changed forever with very sad and very real consequences," the museum's website states.
Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday in Lee Auditorium.
