416 West 42nd St.(between 9th & 10th Aves) New York, NY 10036

The World Premiere of a play by Bruce Norris (THE PAIN AND THE ITCH, THE UNMENTIONABLES). Featuring Crystal A. Dickinson, Brendan Griffin, Damon Gupton, Christina Kirk, Annie Parisse, Jeremy Shamos, and Frank Wood. Directed by Pam MacKinnon (PETER & JERRY, THE FOUR OF US).



Who are the people in your neighborhood? In 1959, a white family moves out. In 2009, a white family moves in. In the intervening years, change overtakes a neighborhood, along with attitudes, inhabitants, and property values. Loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, Bruce Norris's pitch-black comedy takes on the specter of gentrification in our communities, leaving no stone unturned in the process.
