Back in time
The civil rights battle depicted in ‘Cadillac Crew’ echoes through today RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Four women work together to aid in the battle for civil rights in the 1960s: three Black women and one white woman all volunteering to fight for equality in the office setting of Cadillac Crew.
The drama, which opened last Friday at the Bath House Cultural Center, is a co-production of Echo and Soul Rep theater companies.
The show is making its regional premiere. Director Anyika McMillan-Herod found the collaboration an inspiring effort for both companies. “Kateri [Cale] gave me a call that this was a play they wanted to include, and it turned out to be a perfect vehicle for us to collaborate again,” McMillan-Herod said. “I think they wanted a team of like-minded folks to be part of this play that deals with American and Black history.
It was thoughtful to be included in this.” Cale is the managing and artistic director of Echo Theatre, which focuses on theater by women-identifying playwrights.
