In a “first ring” suburb outside a mid-sized American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who’ve moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold Ben and Mary have on their way of life - with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, off-beat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new. Detroit is a part of the 2010-2011 Subscription Season, which includes Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Sex with Strangers, The Hot L Baltimore and Middletown.
