About This Show

Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, set in Chicago’s South Side during the 1950s, revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family. Built on sacrifice, heartbreak, trust, love and the family’s heroic struggle to stay together in the face of a racist, money-driven society, this powerful drama is a pivotal play in the history of the American Black theatre.
