In this episode, we have a conversation with the cast and crew who just completed their run of Clybourne Park, a Pulitzer Prize award winning play about race, gentrification, the housing market throughout the years, and so much more. Director Donny Avery was kind enough to let me bother their rehearsals and talk to them about how they felt about the play, their characters, and why this play was important for Beaumont. See behind the scenes photos from the cast on the Instagram page (wakeupbeaumontpodcast) and check the sources below for additional content!
