This groundbreaking drama changed the American theatre forever, breaking down barriers on and off stage.  Each of the Youngers, a Black family, has a different view of how to spend their father’s life insurance settlement to better the family.  Will they open a business, send Beneatha to medical school or move to an all-white suburb? Praised for its “vigor as well as veracity” by the New York Times, this masterpiece seeks answers to the still-relevant questions posed in Langston Hughes’ poem Harlem:  What happens to a dream deferred?
