Blood at the Root
Wayne State University Theatre and Dance presents Dominique Morisseau's Blood at the Root on Saturday, March 27, 2027, at 7:30 p.m. at the Hilberry Gateway in Detroit. The ensemble drama is based on the true story of the Jena Six. Tickets are available online.
Six Black students were initially charged with attempted murder after a school fight, following nooses hung from a tree on campus. This ensemble drama takes its story from the Jena Six case.
Dominique Morisseau, the writer behind Sunset Baby, Detroit '67 and Skeleton Crew, looks at miscarriages of justice, racial double standards, strained relations between men and women of all classes, and the shaken state of Black family life. The Hilberry Gateway is at 4715 Cass Avenue in Detroit.
The production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
