by Steven Simoncic
World Premiere
November 1 to December 22, 2024
It ain’t the shoes. It’s how you walk in ‘em.
A terrible thing has happened at what might be the last shoe store in Detroit. And now the sales team, a proper group of misfits and outcasts, must learn how to survive and make sense of their new normal as they struggle with life, death, rebirth and the essential importance of clinging to (at least) some version of the truth.

Hot music. Hotter tempers.
Fiery and determined, Ma Rainey fights to retain control over her music, while her cocky trumpet player Levee dreams of making his own name in the business. More than music goes down in August Wilson’s riveting portrayal of rage, racism, self-hatred and exploitation.
