The world premiere of Samuel D. Hunter’s Greater Clements, directed by his frequent collaborator Davis McCallum, will officially open at Lincoln Center Theater December 9 following previews that began November 14. The production, staged in LCT's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater Off-Broadway, stars two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey (HurlyBurly).
In Greater Clements, Ivey plays Maggie, a business owner in Clements, Idaho, about to close one of the last standing independent businesses in town. But when a newcomer (Ken Narasaki) arrives on her doorstep, it resurrects long-buried hope and shame rooted in her family’s past and the town’s history. Now, for the first time in nearly 50 years, Maggie is forced to consider if the life she envisioned for herself at 17 might still be possible today.
