Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking masterpiece "A Raisin in the Sun" follows the Younger family, who are yearning for a better life far from the cramped confines of their Chicago tenement. Hope arrives in the form of an unexpected financial windfall, but when they realize they have differing definitions of the American dream, which dreams get realized and which deferred? "A Raisin in the Sun" paints the African-American experience in brilliant and powerful strokes, as vibrant and vital today as they were in 1959.

This incredible show comes to the Arena Stage from March 31 through May 7, 2017. Get your tickets today!
