A Raisin in the Sun By Lorraine Hansberry

Aug. 22–Sept. 7, 2025

The Younger family dreams of more. But in 1950s Chicago, racism, redlining, and hard luck sear even the smallest hopes before they can take root. Lorraine Hansberry’s timeless classic crackles with anger, tenderness, and the stubborn fight for a better life. Will their dreams dry up? Or will they explode?
