Performances run May 12th - June 4th, 2023.
![]()
In this new comedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage, a truck-stop sandwich shop in Reading, PA becomes a place of employment and redemption for the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff. Under the thumb of the callous and quick-tongued owner, the staff are given permission to dream of something big. Claire D. Kolheim (The Scottsboro Boys/Asst. Director; The Wizard of Oz/Asst. Director; Pass Over/Asst. Director) makes her directorial debut at The Circuit Playhouse with Clyde's.
Ostrander Winner Jessica "Jai" Johnson (Mississippi Goddamn, Sweat) takes the lead in this play alongside co-stars JS Tate (Mississippi Goddamn, Sweat) and Associate Company Members Cristian Nieves (P.Nokio A Hip-Hop Musical, The Wizard of Oz, Something Rotten!) and Courtney Noisette (P.Nokio A Hip-Hop Musical, Roe, The Wizard of Oz).
