Dayton Theatre Guild opens their 25/26 season with Lorraine Hansberry's timeless drama, A Raisin in the Sun. This American classic has been a staple of the black theatrical experience for over 60 years as it follows the Younger family and their efforts to better their life. When the family inherits money from the recently deceased patriarch, the matriarch, Mama Lena Younger, decides to purchase a house in a white neighborhood. What follows is the family dealing with more loss, deception, and the struggle to maintain their dignity while keeping the family and their dreams intact.
