#TheDayWithTrae - On today’s episode of The Day With Trae, Trae Holiday welcomed actor Franklin Johnson, who joined her to discuss his role in Detroit '67, a play produced by Acts on Stage. With his deep investment in the production on full display, Johnson talked about his path as an actor and his upcoming performances in November. 

Johnson shared his journey as an actor from a teenager to Acts on Stage as an adult. Now taking on a principal role in Detroit ‘67, Johnson plays the character Lank, an ambitious man with big dreams outside of the small underground club he runs with his sister. The play is set in the summer of Detroit in 1967 during the civil rights riots and strong movement toward social change.

After taking a few years off from acting during COVID, Detroit ‘67 marks Johnson’s return to the stage. He hopes the audience will feel a range of emotions from the play, and that it will invoke conversation and change. 

Detroit '67 runs from November 14 through the 23, with a special pay-what-you-can performance on November 17. Get your tickets to Detroit ‘67 at actsonstage.com 

Catch The Day With Trae weekdays at 11 a.m. on all Converge Media Streaming Platforms.
