A Raisin in the Sun

By Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Phylicia Rashad
October 9 - November 3, 2012

This timeless classic tells the story of the Youngers, a black family in 1950s Southside Chicago, and their quest for a piece of the American Dream. A towering drama of passionate intensity and raw emotion, with complex characters who work their way into the hearts and minds of an audience, A Raisin in the Sun is as stirring and powerful today as when it premiered over a half a century ago. "... a play that changed American theater forever." - The New York Times
