Utah's Premier Professional Theatre in Residence at the University of Utah

Utah's Premier Professional Theatre in Residence at the University of Utah

February 15 – March 2, 2013

By Bruce Norris

Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony for Best Play!

“Dangerous and provocative, but pulverizingly funny to boot.”Variety

“Superlative!” — Salt Lake Tribune


Clybourne Park is a fascinating, insightful, and often brutally funny look at the way we talk about—or avoid talking about—race in America. When a white couple wants to buy a home in the gentrifying, all-black neighborhood of Clybourne Park, Chicago, they unknowingly re-enact the same tense drama, fraught with miscommunications and barely suppressed hostility that occurred fifty years earlier in the same house.
