Production History

Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew was presented during CST’s Season 37 (2020–2021) at 800 W. Main Street. CST rated the production PG-13. Set in the break room of a Detroit auto stamping plant during the Great Recession around 2008, the drama follows four workers confronting the possibility of closure. Their decisions expose competing loyalties to family, coworkers, management, and their own futures. CST advertised this as the first production of a Dominique Morisseau play in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.
