ECLIPSED: THE SUN, THE MOON AND GLADYS ATKINSON SWEET

Theatre NOVA, Ann Arbor’s resident nonprofit professional theatre specializing in new plays, is thrilled to present the World Premiere of “ECLIPSED: The Sun, the Moon and Gladys Atkinson Sweet” by D.L. Patrick, a play documenting the all-too-real 1925 case of an African American married couple and their friends charged with first-degree murder following the attack on the Sweet’s Detroit home by over 700 white neighbors. 

“ECLIPSED” will run April 11 through May 11 at Theatre NOVA (410 W Huron St, Ann Arbor). Performances are Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 2 p.m. General admission tickets are $30. Tickets may be purchased online at  www.TheatreNOVA.org or in person one hour before each performance.  Seating in the theater will begin 30 minutes before each performance. There is ample free parking and quick access to the city’s restaurants, bars, bakeries, and coffee shops. New patrons can find Theatre NOVA across Huron Street from Ann Arbor’s YMCA through a parking lot entrance on the north side of the street.
