Detroit Auto Workers Face An Uncertain Future In Play 'Skeleton Crew'
Primary Content
Auto company General Motors recently announced it is shutting down production at five plants across North America, leaving thousands of workers without jobs. These real-world events are mirrored in the Atlanta production of "Skeleton Crew." The play follows a tight-knit group of workers at the only auto stamping plant left in Detroit at the height of the Great Recession.
Director of "Skeleton Crew" Jamil Jude visited "On Second Thought" to discuss the play. He's also the new artistic director for Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company. Jude shared how the play's themes around unionizing, sacrifice and job insecurity resonate with audiences today.
"On Second Thought" host Virginia Prescott speaks with Jamil Jude.
"Skeleton Crew" is open now and runs through March 10 at Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company.
