What happens to a dream deferred? In the South Side of Chicago, a poor black family struggles to stay afloat as they search for financial stability and a place to call home. Tensions flare as the generations reach for different dreams and prejudice seeps into their lives. Filled with passion, humor, and humanity, A Raisin in the Sun is an iconic piece of American dramatic literature that will move audiences of all ages.

As the Garden seeks to become a leader in the arts community for centering and celebrating diverse voices, we are proud to present this work with this team while also being conscious of how long it has taken us to take these steps. We look forward to this production being the first of many on our stage to tell stories that reflect the breadth of talent and experience in our Central Florida community.
