Clyde’s
by Lynn Nottage

Cannon Street Arts Center
Southeastern Regional Premiere
October 27-November 19, 2022

Creating the perfect sandwich is the shared quest of the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff of Clyde’s, a truck stop cafe. Even as the shop’s mischievous owner tries to keep them under her thumb, the staffers are given purpose and permission to dream—finding that “sometimes a hero is more than a sandwich” (The New York Times).

“A finger-licking good time with a few stirring insights on the side.” —Theatrely

“Flavor-bomb of a new comedy about survival, second chances and digesting whatever life serves up.” —Variety
