Cripple Creek is bringing the regional premiere of Bruce Norris’ “Clybourne Park,” the hottest ticket on Broadway in 2012 to New Orleans at The Shadowbox Theatre!
A response to Lorraine Hansberry’s masterpiece “A Raisin in the Sun,” “Clybourne Park” has won numerous awards including the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony® Award for Best Play.
“Clybourne Park” takes place in a house in south Chicago over a span of 50 years. In 1956, the house is located in a white neighborhood and sold to an African-American family (the Younger family in "A Raisin in the Sun"). Then in 2009 the neighborhood has changed into an African-American community and the house is sold to a white couple. Uproariously funny, Norris dissects race relations and middle class hypocrisies in America past and present.
This production is made possible with the support of the Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation and is part of “The Clybourne @ St. Claude Project,” a larger collaboration with the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC) and community partners. Cripple Creek is partnering with GNOFHAC for the production of a storytelling workshop in tandem with a new locally-produced play that further explores some of the issues in “Clybourne Park" that contributed to the original theatre piece, "Spirit House."
This production will also feature Saturday Post-Show Reflections and a Dramaturgical Lobby Installation
