A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry
1/21/2011 - 2/6/2011
Directed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj


This award-winning drama tells the story of an African American family living on Chicago's south side in the 1950s. Recently widowed, Lena Younger receives a life insurance check and plans to buy a house for her family, freeing them from the cramped tenement she shares with her two children, daughter-in-law and grandson.

“A play that changed American theater forever.” – New York Times

Her son, Walter - now the man of the family - has other ideas. In the struggle that ensues one dream will be fulfilled, another deferred. Will the family collapse or will they seize this opportunity to create a better life? Don’t miss this powerful and unforgettable portrait of one family’s quest for the American dream.

“One of a handful of great American plays – it belongs in the inner circle, along with Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Glass Menagerie.” – The Washington Post
