The show was part of a theater series during Black Heritage Month examining the changing racial makeup of American cities across many generations. It was supported by Lafayette’s START initiative, which is funded by an $800,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The program included two opportunities to see Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun on Broadway starring Denzel Washington and Diahann Carroll.
Clybourne Park, Bruce Norris’ Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning response to Hansberry’s play, spans half a century in urban America with a focus on race, real estate, and the volatile values of each. Michael O’Neill, associate professor of English and director of theater, directed the production.

Saw the show. It was wonderful. Great acting, fabulous costumes and the set was extremely professional. Congratulations to Dr. O’Neill for directing another outstanding production at Lafayette. Kudo’s to the cast and crew for giving us the most enjoyable evening of theater. Can’t wait to see what’s next on your schedule. Sue Raesly
