call the SCC Box Office at

636-922-8050. Clybourne Park spans two generations 50 years apart. In 1959,

Russ and Bev are selling their house, unknowingly bringing

the first black family into the neighborhood. This creates some

discontent among the white residents of the neighborhood.

In 2009, the same property is being bought by a young white

couple, whose plan to raze the house and start again is met

with equal disapproval by the black residents of the soon-to-be-

gentrified area. Bruce Norris’s excruciatingly funny and squirm-

inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property.

This hilarious comedy features Eve, who lives over the Nice

People Dancing to Good Country Music Bar. She is paid a visit by

her niece Catherine, a novice nun who’s been asked to leave her

convent. It seems Catherine suffers from a curious compulsion

to yell obscenities at the wrong moment and even, on occasion,

bark like a dog. Roy, an honest if simple fellow from the bar

downstairs, wants to court Catherine whether she’s a nun or not.

CENTER STAGE PRODUCTION OF MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET, 2014 Center Stage Theatre

11

Vladimir and Estragon, while waiting for someone called Godot,

play out the circular patterns of man’s life: they eat, argue,

make up, contemplate death, and meet/entertain others. The

simplicity and circular nature of the play’s structure and character

interactions reflect upon change, hope, the meaning of life and

intellect vs. the non-rational; nothing is completed, and anything

of substance is only found for our characters in the unity of time

and place in which they exist together.

The weird and wonderful family created by New Yorker cartoonist

Charles Addams comes to life in this zany musical comedy.

All the memorable “creepy and kooky” characters are there:

Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Grandmama, Wednesday

and Pugsley, accompanied on stage by some of their deceased

ancestors. In this story, Morticia and Gomez Addams want to

continue living amongst death, pain and suffering as they always

have. But there is a change brewing.

Evening Performances: April 20, 21, 22 & 23 7:30 p.m.

Matinee Performances: April 2 10 a.m. April 24 2 p.m.

Evening Performances: July 26-30 7:30 p.m.
