Clybourne Park

By Bruce Norris

Fri, Sat, Sun May 17 - June 23 at 8pm

Tickets $15; $10 Opening Weekend


Cripple Creek will produce the regional premiere of Bruce Norris’ “Clybourne Park,” the hottest ticket on Broadway this year. 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 1959, 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.
