Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, A Raisin in the Sun is a groundbreaking classic forever changed American theatre. A Raisin in the Sun is a powerful portrait of a Black family in Chicago’s South Side, fighting for dignity, justice, and the right to dream. Hansberry’s timeless work offers a stirring answer to Langston Hughes’s question: What happens to a dream deferred? Running September 10-20 at Actors Theatre of Little Rock at Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church.
