Bruce Norris’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Clybourne Park, will play Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre, beginning on March 28 and now opening on April 19, one week later than originally announced. The show will play a limited 16-week engagement.

Jordan Roth, president of JuJamcyn Theatres is now heading the production.
Scott Rudin, who was one of the major investors in the project, withdrew from the show after a dispute with Norris, who had decided not to act in Rudin’s new HBO series, The Corrections.


Pam MacKinnon, who directed the play at Playwrights Horizons and is currently helming the show at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, will once again stage the comedy, which examines how a Chicago neighborhood changes over the course of 50 years.

The production’s original cast — Crystal A. Dickinson, Brendan Griffin, Damon Gupton, Christina Kirk, Annie Parisse, Jeremy Shamos and Frank Wood — will star in the production.

The show will feature sets by Daniel Ostling, costumes by Ilona Somogyi, lighting by Allen Lee Hughes, and sound by John Gromada.
