CLYBOURNE PARK OPENS FRIDAY, MAY 6
AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS

Clybourne Park, a 2011 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play by Bruce Norris, directed by Chris Foster, opens Friday, May 6, and runs through Sunday, May 15 at Schenectady Civic Players’ 12 South Church Street playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.

Clybourne Park, a response play to Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.

This funny and fiercely provocative play about race, real estate, and the volatile values of each won nearly every honor the theater has to give, including the Tony Award for Best Play, Olivier Award, the Evening Standard Award and the Pulitzer Prize.

The Civic Players cast features Nick Bosanko, Nicolle Galligan, Evan Jones, Jean-Remy Monnay, Angelique Powell, Katie Weinberg, and Patrick White, each portraying a different character in each act.

Clybourne Park runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday (May 6, 7 & 8) and Wednesday through Sunday (May11 through 15). Wednesday and Thursday curtains are at 7:30 pm; Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm; and Sundays are matinees only at 2:30 pm.

Tickets, $17. Order tickets on-line at www.civicplayers.org
Or call the Playhouse 382-2081.
