The Drama Group's next show - CLYDE'S
The Drama Group’s fifth show of their 95th season is the Drama, CLYDE'S.
A truck stop sandwich shop offers its formerly incarcerated kitchen staff a shot at redemption. Even as the shop’s callous owner tries to control them and keep them under her thumb, the staff members are given purpose and permission to dream by their chef guru and a shared quest to create the perfect sandwich. The 2022 Tony-nominated play is written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage.
Redemption and inspiration, served on the perfect sandwich.
Show times for CLYDE'S are 7:30 pm beginning Friday, June 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, and 13th; Saturday matinee June 13th at 2:00 pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm on June 7th and 14th at The Drama Group, 330 W. 202nd Street, Chicago Heights.
