Clyde with a sandwich

Moe & Jack Rouse and Randolph Wadsworth present

Clyde’s

  • By Lynn Nottage
  • Directed by Timothy Douglas

Oct. 14 – Nov. 5, 2023

MOE AND JACK'S PLACE — THE ROUSE THEATRE

ABOUT THE SHOW

Every sandwich has a story at Clyde’s, a truck-stop operated by a group of people recently released from prison. Under the no-nonsense authority of Clyde — an ex-con herself whose searing remarks can really leave a burn — the small kitchen crew finds redemption and purpose through the art of sandwich-making. These vividly drawn characters share their stories and learn to express themselves creatively as they attempt to reclaim their lives in a world that’s set up for them to fail. Can an artistic twist on a grilled cheese elicit feelings of hope? Can assembling the perfect sandwich awaken a spiritual experience? In this witty and inspiring dramedy from two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage, they absolutely can.


ADVISORY

Clyde’s is suitable for older teenage and adult audiences only. A crew of people recently released from prison find purpose in sandwich making while using very strong adult language and discussing mature topics, including sex, substance abuse and illegal activities.
