CLYBOURNE PARK

at Walter Kerr Theatre

previews begin 26 Mar 2012

Clybourne Park is set in a suburban living room in 1959 (Act One) and 2009 (Act Two). Each half of the play tells a different story about a period of transition in the house. In the first act, a Caucasian couple is packing to move out, having sold the home to the first African-American family to move into the neighborhood—much to the consternation of a rep from the local Rotary Club. In the second act, the house has been sold by a black family to a white couple who plan to tear it down and build a bigger home on the same lot—much to the consternation of a rep from the now-integrated neighborhood association.
