Clybourne Park

Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's landmark drama A Raisin in the Sun, Theatre Baton Rouge's live stage production of Clybourne Park explores themes of community, race relations, culture, and language in ways that will make you laugh, cry, and ponder. The two act play presents two stories set in the same house; the first is set in 1959, as white community leaders work to prevent a black family from purchasing a home in their neighborhood. Act Two takes place fifty years later, as the now majority African American neighborhood fights against the effects of gentrification. 7:30 pm Thursday–Saturday; 2 pm Sunday. $30.75; $25.75 for students and children younger than 17. theatrebr.org.
