Lindsey
A white woman in her thirties. She is the daughter of Karl and Betsy, who moved out of Clybourne Park before Kathy was born. Kathy is working as a lawyer for Steve and Lindsey. Kathy is talkative, which is unfortunate as she is also clueless and frequently makes unintentionally offensive remarks. Unlike Tom, who is efficient and timely, she’s happy to let the conversation wander off track for minutes at a time. Kathy is played by the same actor who plays Bev in Act I.
