Midland Center for the Arts will present Center Stage Theatre's production of A Raisin in the Sun, running Feb. 27 to March 8, 2026, in the Little Theater. Directed by Glecia Tatum, A Raisin in the Sun is a powerful, character-driven story of family, hope, and the life-changing weight of a dream.

As they face systematic barriers and personal struggles, the Younger family must decide what dreams are worth fighting for.

Williams as Walter Lee Younger, Skylar Summey as Beneatha Younger, Indigo Connolly as Ruth Younger, Kaycen Brown as Travis Younger, Daniel Brown as Joseph Asagai, Colton Jordan as George Murchison, TayVelle Richmond as Bobo, Kevin Profitt as Karl Lindner and Man, Leroy Evans as Moving Man, Brenda Beckom as Mrs. Johnson, and Nicole Dixon-Mayes as Singer and understudy for Mama.
