Wednesday, Sept 14 at 7pm, The Playhouse Theatre Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun, Clybourne Park is a provocative comedy/drama set in the same house fifty years apart in the suburbs of Chicago. Act one takes place in 1959 when Russ and Bev are moving to the suburbs - selling their home to the neighborhood's first black family. Act two is decades later when a young white couple buys the same property with plans to demolish and build a larger home. Now a predominately black community battles to protect the historic qualities of the community in the face of gentrification. Run time approximately 2 hours, including a 15 minute intermission. Note: this production contains mature themes and language. ASL performance: Thursday, Sept. 29, 8 p.m.
