A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a black woman to be
produced on Broadway, as well as the first with a black director, Mr. Lloyd
Richards. Set on Chicago’s South Side, the plot revolves around the
divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger
family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis,
and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes
through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood
in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store
and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. The tensions and
prejudice they face form this seminal American drama. The Younger family’s
heroic struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a
searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.



**THERE WILL BE AN OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION AFTER THE SHOW ON FRIDAY,
