Directed by Alan Greenberg for the Black Box
A razor‑sharp, darkly funny look at who gets to belong in a neighborhood. Clybourne Park traces one Chicago home across two eras; first in 1959, when white residents scramble to block a Black family from moving in, and then fifty years later, when the now Black community pushes back against encroaching gentrification. The same house, the same battles, and a biting examination of how much—and how little—has changed.
“The cast is a combination of long-time favorites, newer faces, and brand-new talent and the personal
chemistry is amazing!” -Director, Alan Greenberg

"More than a decade after its initial release, Clybourne Park is as timely and insightful as ever, grappling with the issues of what defines a community and who belongs in it" said Joe Clark, who plays Karl and Steve. "This is one of the smartest, funniest shows I've had the pleasure to act in — you'll be talking about it well after the lights go down."
