Washington DC Theatre to Feature Pulitzer Prize Winning Drama
June 15, 2011
The entire original cast is scheduled to return for the production, again directed by Woolly Mammoth Artistic Director Howard Shalwitz.
The 2010 production of Clybourne Park at Woolly Mammoth was one of the highest attended shows in Woolly's history. Additionally, the production launched the theatre's connectivity initiative, which aims to bring uniquely designed audiences to each production to expand and deepen the conversation engendered by the play. Events around Clybourne Park included widespread online conversation around the show– initiated by neighborhood bloggers–as well as Audience Exchanges and Mammoth Forums with DC community members such as Michele Norris, host of NPR's newsmagazine All Things Considered, and Amy Lazarus, Executive Director of Sustained Dialogue Campus Network. Similar programming will be built around the remount.
In addition to its extraordinary success at Woolly, Clybourne Park had a successful premiere production at Playwrights Horizons in New York City in the Spring of 2010. Furthermore, Clybourne Park had a sell-out, record-breaking run in London at the Royal Court Theatre, which prompted the announcement of the show's transfer to London's West End, scheduled for January, 2011.
In the 1950's, a white community in Chicago splinters over the black family about to move into their neighborhood. Fast forward to present day: as we climb through the looking glass of Lorraine Hansberry's classic A Raisin in the Sun, the same house now represents very different demographics. Neighbors pitch a horrifying yet hilarious battle over territory and legacy that reveals how far our ideas about race and gentrification have evolved–or have they?
“Returning to Clybourne Park feels like continuing a dazzling and intense conversation more than a show,” says Shalwitz. “Bruce's masterful play is an urgent dissection of our ability, or lack thereof, to bridge the racial divide, perfectly calibrated for our current historical moment. It embodies some of Woolly's highest goals: to challenge our audience with provocative points of view and ask them to draw their own conclusions. I'm so pleased that we're able to invite more of our community into this conversation with this unusual remount, including all the great artists from our original production last spring.”
Woolly's Clybourne Park remount will feature Woolly Mammoth Company Members Kimberly Gilbert (In the Next Room or the vibrator play, Boom), Mitchell Hébert (House of Gold, The Clean House), Jennifer Mendenhall (Measure for Pleasure, Dead Man's Cell Phone), and Dawn Ursula (Eclipsed, The Unmentionables). The production will also feature Chris Dinolfo, Michael Glenn, Cody Nickell, and Jefferson A. Russell.
Clybourne Park will again feature set design by James Kronzer, costume design by Helen Q. Huang, lighting design by Woolly Associate Artist Colin K. Bills, and sound
design by Matt Otto.
