🥪 COMING THIS JULY: "CLYDE'S" 🥪

What happens when people are given a second chance and the opportunity to build something new? 🤔

In Lynn Nottage's acclaimed play "Clyde's," a group of formerly incarcerated workers find purpose, community, and hope while working at a truck-stop sandwich shop. As they navigate the challenges of rebuilding their lives, they discover that redemption isn't just about the past. It's about believing in the possibility of a better future.

Through friendship, resilience, and a shared pursuit of the perfect sandwich, Clyde's explores what it means to move forward when the world expects you to stay the same.

✨ A powerful story about second chances, dignity, and finding your place in the world.
