A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry
directed by Phyllis E. Griffin
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and celebrating its 50th Anniversary, A Raisin in the Sun is the fiercely moving portrait of an African-American family in Chicago’s South Side in the 1950s. This seminal American play, the first by an African-American woman ever to be produced on Broadway, is a searing and timeless drama of family, hope, and inspiration.
