Clyde’s at Trustus Theatre

A Black man in an apron works to create the perfect sandwich. A Black woman looks on scornfully.

Trustus Theatre presents Clyde’s by Lynn Nottage, directed by Erin Wilson. Clyde’s is a truck stop sandwich shop frequented by truckers making the long journey across Pennsylvania. The kitchen is staffed exclusively by formerly incarcerated individuals looking for their shot at redemption. Even as the shop’s menacing owner, Clyde, 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.
Clyde’s runs on the Thigpen Mainstage Thursdays through Sundays, April 18 to May 3, 2025.
