Detroit. Summer 1967.
As one of the most pivotal uprisings in American history unfolds outside their door, siblings Chelle and Lank are trying to build a future from the basement of their West Side home. But when a mysterious woman unexpectedly enters their lives, buried secrets, shifting loyalties, and impossible choices begin to surface.
Set against the backdrop of the 1967 Detroit uprising and underscored by the unforgettable sounds of Motown, Detroit ’67 is a powerful story of family, love, resilience, and hope in a city—and a nation—on the brink of change.

FEATURED FUNDRAISER EVENTS | RITUAL & RHYTHM : An Immersive Reading Series
About Ritual & Rhythm | Rhythm and ritual are the foundation of this festival’s form and function. We are interested in how repetition, music, movement, and language create containers for memory, grief, joy, and release. Rhythm lives in breath, in heartbeat, in the cadence of speech; ritual lives in what we return to; habits, traditions, survival practices, and acts of care. These readings are not static presentations, but living environments. Audience and performer share space in a way that blurs observation and participation. Through heightened language, hip-hop aesthetics, and embodied storytelling, we investigate how ritual can hold pain without spectacle and how rhythm can guide both rupture and healing
