DETROIT, MI – Michigan’s only professional African American Theatre,
Welcome to
Plowshares Theatre
When thou shalt be disposed to set me light
And place my merit in the eye of scorn,Upon thy side against myself I’ll fight And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.With mine own weakness being best acquainted,Upon thy part I can set down a story Of faults conceal’d, wherein I am attainted, That thou in losing me shalt win much glory.
