‘Clybourne Park’
“Clybourne Park,” Bruce Norris’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, written as a spinoff of Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” will open at the Quogue Community Hall tonight at 7 and run through March 29.
The two acts of “Clybourne Park” are two separate plays set 50 years apart. Act one takes place in 1959 in a middle-class house in a predominantly white neighborhood in Chicago. The second act is set in the present day, as the now mostly African-American neighborhood struggles to resist gentrification. The house in Clybourne Park is the same one the Younger family was set to move into at the end of “A Raisin in the Sun.”
The HTC production will star Matt Conlon, Ben Schnickel, Rebecca Edana, Joe Pallister, Juanita Frederick, Shonn McCloud, and Anette Michelle Sanders. Sarah Hunnewell will direct.
Performances will take place Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 8, and Sundays at 2:30. Tickets are $25, $10 for students under 21, and $23 for senior citizens, except on Saturdays.
