A Raisin In The Sun
This inaugural Signature Playwright Series shines a spotlight & celebrates theatrical works written, directed, & produced by Black/African American playwrights.

[Directed by Cris Scott] "A Raisin in the Sun", a classic play by Lorraine Hansbury that debuted on Broadway in 1959, takes place in the late ‘50s in a south side Chicago apartment, chronicling the lives of the members of an African-American family. Matriarch Lena plans to buy a home in an all-white neighborhood when she receives a hefty insurance check. Her son Walter dreams of buying a liquor store and being his own man, and her daughter Beneatha dreams of attending medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face create the drama in this beloved play.
