Casting announced for Lynn Nottage's CLYDE'S on Broadway

Casting has been announced for Second Stage Theater’s upcoming production of Lynn Nottage’s new play, Clyde’s.

The production will feature three-time Emmy Award-winner Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black), two-time Emmy Award-winner Ron Cephas Jones (This is Us), Reza Salazar (Sweat), and Kara Young (Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven).

The piece is directed by Kate Whoriskey and will begin previews on 3 November 2021 before officially opening on 22 November at Second Stage’s Broadway home, The Hayes Theater. A fifth role remains to be cast.

Clyde’s is a stirring and funny new play from two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and her frequent collaborator, Whoriskey.

A truck stop sandwich shop offers its formerly incarcerated kitchen staff a shot at redemption. Even as the shop’s callous owner, Clyde (played by Aduba), tries to keep them under her thumb, the staff members are given purpose and permission to dream by their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich. You’ll want a seat at the table for this humorous, moving, and urgent play.

Clyde’s features set design by Takeshi Kata, costumes by Jennifer Moeller, lighting by Christopher Akerlind, sound by Justin Ellington, and original compositions by Justin Hicks.
