SUMMARY:Clyde's
DESCRIPTION:“Feisty comedy is on the menu” (Washington Post) in two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage’s latest Broadway triumph. \nCreating the perfect sandwich is the shared quest of the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff of Clyde’s\, a truck stop cafe. Even as the shop’s mischievous owner tries to keep them under her thumb\, the staffers are given purpose and permission to dream—finding that “sometimes a hero is more than a sandwich” (New York Times). This stirring\, masterful play from the team of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and director Kate Whoriskey (Ruined\, Sweat) makes its Chicago premiere after its Tony-nominated run on Broadway. \nFor tickets and more information\, please visit https://www.goodmantheatre.org/Clydes
