Robinson Hall, Anne R. Belk Theater
9027 Mary Alexander Road, Charlotte, NC 28223
Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and London’s Olivier Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park is a bold play about race, real estate, and the volatile values of each. Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s classic play, A Raisin in the Sun, this acclaimed work explodes in two outrageous acts set 50 years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home in a white community to a Black family. Act Two is set in the same house in 2009, as the now predominantly African American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.
The show times:
November 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30 pm
November 17 at 2pm
