PURE-_Season_10-_small_squareClybourne Park

PURE THEATRE

Southeast Premiere
This wickedly funny and fiercely provocative play about race, real estate, and the volatile values of each won nearly every honor the theatre has to give, including the Olivier Award, the Evening Standard Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. Clybourne Park explodes in two outrageous acts set 50 years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.

The_Elaborate_Entrance_of_Chad_Deity_2-_small_squareThe Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity

PURE Theatre

Winner of the 2011 Obie Award for Best Play. Set on a real prowrestling ring, deep down this Power Bomb-filled play is about much more than spandex and testosterone. Chad Deity is a hilarious, largerthan-life underdog story that literally wrestles with ethnic stereotypes, geopolitics, and the irresistible power of the American media. "You'll be caught up by this solid production which is less about gaudy masks, mayhem, and money, than it is about heart and integrity and finding one's way in the world." - Charleston City Paper.
