Wayne State University's Hilberry Theatre will produce playwright Lisa D‘Amour’s much-buzzed-about 2010 play "Detroit" next season. The Hilberry production will run in repertory Jan. 11-April 15. It replaces a previously announced production of Molière's "A Doctor in Spite of Himself." Though the play is titled "Detroit," it could be set in many other U.S. cities. Still, it's a story that will resonate locally, says director Lavinia Hart. "We're a city bereft of revenue, neighborhoods, opportunity. We live in a city of a dwindling work force, including firefighters and police officers. But Detroiters are survivors and their sense of humor is gritty and wry," says Hart.
