The Zips Programming Network Presents  
"A Raisin in the Sun"

(Akron, Ohio) January 21, 2006 - The Zips Programming Network primer  
organization for campus events opens its second Black History Month performance  on 
February 3, 2006  of Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun."
A Raisin in  the Sun tells the story of a family living and struggling on 
Chicago's South Side in the 1950's. It  is a fiercely moving portrait of people 
whose hopes and dreams are constantly  deferred. Set at the beginning of the 
Civil Rights era, this production brought  the everyday aspirations of African 
Americans to the stage for the first time.  We are pleased to be doing this 
production to raise awareness of African  American play writes and without the 
help of Samuel French, Inc this would have  not been possible.
The production will run twice, Friday February 3 at 7:00pm and Saturday 
February 4 at  3:00pm in the University of Akron's Student Union  Gardner Theatre 
303 Carroll St Akron, OH 44325. Both performances are  "FREE."
This  production is sponsored by The Zips Programming Network in  
collaboration with Samuel French Inc. For more information and tickets,  call Timothy G. 
Avant, Diversity Chair  at (330) 972-7014.
