In addition to Felciano, the cast also includes René Augesen, Anthony Fusco, Gregory Wallace, Omozé Idehenre, Emily Kitchens and Richard Thieriot.
Here's how A.C.T. bills the work: "Clybourne Park cleverly spins the events of A Raisin in the Sun to tell an unforgettable new story about race and real estate in America. Act I opens in 1959, as a white couple sells their home to a black family, causing uproar in their middle-class Chicago neighborhood. Act II transports us to the same house in 2009, when the stakes are different, but the debate is strikingly familiar. Amid lightning-quick repartee, the characters scramble for control of the situation, revealing how we can — and can't — distance ourselves from the stories that linger in our houses."
