A Raisin in the Sun (Staged Reading)
By Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Sandra Brown
Inspired by Hansberry’s own family’s experiences in Chicago in the 1930s, this masterpiece changed the American theatre forever as it broke down barriers on and off stage. Each of the Youngers, a Black family, has a different view of how to spend their father’s life insurance settlement to better the family. Will they open a business, send Beneatha to medical school, or move to an all-white suburb? This 20th century classic seeks answers to the still-relevant questions posed in Langston Hughes’ poem: “What happens to a dream deferred?”
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
