Tony Award winner Frank Wood, Emmy Award nominee Annie Parisse, Jeremy Shamos, Crystal A. Dickinson, Brendan Griffin, Damon Gupton, and Christina Kirk will star in the world premiere of Bruce Norris' Clybourne Park, to be presented by Playwrights Horizons, January 29-March 7, with an opening set for February 21. Pam MacKinnon will direct.

The play is loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, and examines issues of gentrification as a white family moves out of a neighborhood in 1959 and another white family moves into the same neighborhood in 2009.

The production will feature scenic design by Dan Ostling, costume design by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by Allen Lee Hughes, and sound design by John Gromada.
