Clybourne Park

Clybourne Park

by Bruce Norris

Directed by Alan Greenberg for the Black Box

A razor‑sharp, darkly funny look at who gets to belong in a neighborhood. Clybourne Park traces one Chicago home across two eras; first in 1959, when white residents scramble to block a Black family from moving in, and then fifty years later, when the now Black community pushes back against encroaching gentrification. The same house, the same battles, and a biting examination of how much—and how little—has changed.
