Skeleton Crew by Dominique Morisseau follows four lower class workers of color at the last auto-plant standing in Detroit during the Great Recession. We see them struggle under systemic oppression and despite not having control over what strains their finances, families, and futures, they choose to act through love. San Francisco is going through a transformation where its residents are struggling to liv amongst gentrification and an unsustainable economy. With themes of the working class, queerness, housing instability, etc. This play will remind us to be kind to one another in the face of systemic cruelty.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Sarina Temple (she/they/friend) is a queer brown person who creates art for and through her communities. Her goal in theater is to put underrepresented people on stage, behind stage, and in the audience. Her focus lies in decolonizing theater through a love ethic. Sarina utilizes theater as a tool for social justice and expression. She is dedicated to creating inclusive spaces for underrepresented communities while promoting cultural diversity. She puts conscious effort into learning about queer black and brown history and socioeconomic healing. Queer black and brown art is systematically oppressed so she works hard to break open the beautiful world of theater to her communities in a way that is properly and intelligently presented.
