Clybourne Park Begins

Bruce Norris' Pulitzer Prize-winning Clybourne Park begins previews at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre.

Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, Clybourne Park tells the story of two periods of transition in a suburban Chicago house. In act one, set in 1959, a Caucasian couple has sold the home to the neighborhood's first African-American family—much to the consternation of a rep from the local Rotary Club. In the second act, set in 2009, the house has been sold by a black family to a white couple who plan to tear it down and build a bigger home—much to the consternation of a rep from the now-integrated neighborhood association.
