The landmark 1959 play by Lorraine Hansberry explores the divergent dreams and struggles of three generations of the Younger family on Chicago’s South Side.
Set on Chicago’s South Side, Lorraine Hansberry’s celebrated play concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: Son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry’s portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.
Dunbar Repertory Company’s production features Octavia Harrell (Lena Younger), Damien S. Berger (Walter Lee Younger), Lucia Williams (Beneatha Younger), Vivette Alston (Ruth Younger), Kian Cooper (Travis Younger), Clayton Simmons (Travis Younger), Malik Abdul Khaaliq (Joseph Asagai), Mike Vails (George Murchison), Bellamy Shivers (Bobo), Martin Cordero (Bobo), Carl Hoffman (Karl Lindner), Doris Dollard (Mrs. Johnson) and Takia Clayton (Mrs. Johnson).
