Themes
- Playwright Dominique Morisseau wrote this play (and others) out of a desire to depict her hometown with love, truth and pride. Think about your hometown. What do you wish that others knew and understood about it?
- In the play, the characters that work at this auto factory are facing uncertainty about the future. How do you experience uncertainty? In what ways have you navigated those experiences?
