CLYBOURNE PARK Joins Barrington Stage Season

Barrington Stage Company, the award-winning theatre in downtown Pittsfield, under the leadership of Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Managing Director TriStan Wilson, will present the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Bruce Norris, Clybourne Park, as its fall production from September 26 through October 13.

Directed by Giovanna Sardelli (BSC's The North Pool and Lord of the Flies), Clybourne Park is a co-production with Vermont's Dorset Theatre Festival (Dina Janis, Artistic Director), where it will play August 15-31. Sardelli is directing both productions.

Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park is a provocative and wickedly funny play about race, real estate and American values. Act One takes place where the 1959 A Raisin in the Sun leaves off: with a white couple selling their home to a black family and causing uproar among their neighbors. Act Two takes place fifty years later with a black family selling the house to a white family who believe in urban gentrification - or do they?

Tickets are on sale now by calling 413-236-8888 or online at www.barringtonstageco.org.
Performances of Clybourne Park are Thursday at 7pm, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday at 3pm. Additional performances Saturday, October 5 at 2pm and Sunday, October 13 at 7pm. Press Opening: Sunday, September 29 at 3pm. Tickets start at $20. Low-priced previews on September 26 - 28 are $15/$20. Seniors: $25 all matinees. Youth 18 and under $15 all performances.
