In Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew, the harsh effects of 2008’s recession unfold for four employees at the last small auto plant still operating in Detroit; a once-thriving factory that is now barely staffed to run the assembly lines. Faye, a tough old-timer looks to hit 30 years and a full benefits package; Shanita, a pregnant young woman braves motherhood on her own; and Dez, a smooth-talking, soon-to-be entrepreneur seeks riskier opportunities. Pride in their work, dreams for the future, and lack of other options keep them on the line, despite news drifting in of other plants closing and fears that theirs may be next. Caught between his loyalties and his career, plant manager Reggie is pressured to keep discipline, as across the city, abandoned plants are stripped by thieves. Skeleton Crew examines the casualties of commerce and the everyday people whose lives hang in the balance.
