Matrix Theatre Company is excited to announce Art Speaks, a devised show inspired by murals in Corktown, North Corktown and Hubbard Richard Neighborhoods. Detroit street art is as provocative (or poignant) as it is pretty, especially in Southwest. Matrix is spending the next 6 months focusing on what the murals around us are saying, to whom, and why. This show is made possible by the generous support of the Community Foundation and Michigan Central Church Street Fund.

Director: Amy Johnson
Creating performance experiences is Amy’s wheel house.  Most notably, she produced two devised shows for Eastern Michigan Univerity: A Head Full of Snakes, centering around myth and impact of Medusa and [Something Between], exploring the word, idea, and feelings regarding walls.  Using original and existing texts, she has also developed, built, and directed several award willing Reader’s Theaters for competition at ARTa (American Reader’s Theater Association).  In 2016 and 2017 with her coconspirator, Marisa Dluge, she built the immersive, space-based performance experience It(s) About Time.  Amy also writes and performs as a founding company member and Associate Producer for the UnTheatre Company in Detroit that produces the show "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind”.
