Palmer Park by Joanna McClelland Glass
In 1967 there were race riots in 59 US cities, the worst of which was The Rebellion in Detroit. Over 100,000 people fled the city in an exodus dubbed “white flight” resulting in plummeting property values and students suffering in overcrowded under-funded schools. The upper-middle-class Palmer Park neighborhood and its highly-rated Hampton School seemed to racially integrate successfully. Two couples, one black and one white, rally their neighbors, desperately hoping to maintain the profile of their community and school. With shared camaraderie and pathos, Palmer Park explores what these neighbors had in common and reveals their differences.
Palmer Park premiered at the Stratford Festival in Ontario and garnered rave reviews.
A co-production with the Hilberry Theatre, sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League and the MASCO Corporation Foundation.
