Detroit Theatre Collective Hosts New York Production of Heisenberg at Matrix Theatre

A new production of Simon Stephens' play, directed by Oscar winner Mercedes Ruehl, will play for two nights in southwest Detroit this June.

A chance encounter between two strangers in a London train station sets off a chain of events that defy logic and expectation, leading them into an exhilarating, life-changing relationship.

Detroit Theatre Collective is thrilled to present Heisenberg, directed by Tony and Oscar award-winning Mercedes Ruehl, fresh from a New York run produced by New Music Theatre Project & Rapeteta Theatre Company. The sure-to-be-provocative two-night fundraising event for DTC will be held at Matrix Theatre Company in southwest Detroit.

Written by award-winning playwright Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Heisenberg is an extraordinary play that explores the terrifying, exhilarating nature of human connection. The intimate performance will feature Detroit native T.M. Rawlins as Georgie Burns and Michael S. Horowitz as Alex Priest.

Doors will open at 7pm on Friday June 6th and Saturday June 7th. Wine, cheese, and mingling from 7:00pm — 7:45pm; performance begins at 8:00pm. The show runs for 85 minutes.

Detroit Theatre Collective is a pop-up performance ensemble founded in 2013. The collective is dedicated to exploring the outer limits of realism through original work and forgotten but worthy plays.

PUPPET KARAOKE!
Friday, January 10th
8pm-11pm
at Matrix Theatre Company!

Folks, It's the moment you all have been waiting for. It's Karaoke with a twist! It’s Puppet Karaoke. Pick a song and a puppet and sing your heart out! Show off your puppet and singing skills in front of an audience. The twist is that you pick a puppet to sing your song or have someone else puppeteer while you sing! Perform on stage or behind a curtain. You are among friends so just try your best! You can bring your own puppet or you can choose from a splendid array of puppets and Rock the Mic! Choose a song, perform live, lip-sync, or just sing along in the audience! Get ready to be a Rockstar on the puppet stage with Puppet Karaoke!
No experience is needed just try your best, you're among friends. Go up by yourself or with a friend and a Puppeteer expert will be on staff to assist.
