“What happens to a dream deferred?”
On the South Side of 1950s Chicago, the Younger family lives under one roof, bound together by love, struggle, and shelved dreams. When a life insurance check arrives after the death of their father, it sparks a chance to break free—from poverty, from their cramped apartment, and from the limits of a deeply segregated society. But each family member sees a different future, and the choices they make test everything they believe about identity, pride, and possibility. One of the greatest American dramas ever written, Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun is fierce, tender, and as urgent now as when it first debuted in 1959. OSF Artistic Director Tim Bond brings to life a powerful revival of this seminal work The New York Times called “The play that changed American theatre forever.”
