A Raisin in the Sun at Perseverance Theatre

When a $10,000 life insurance check promises to change the lives of the Younger family, they must decide what to do with the money. In one of the greatest domestic dramas about the American Dream, four generations face the cost of dreams deferred and struggle with the decision to move out of a Chicago ghetto. Doubts creep in as to whether the children of the Youngers can raise the family’s standard of living beyond what their parents accomplished. Filled with family, love and hope, don’t miss this rare opportunity to see one of America’s classic works. A Raisin in the Sun was the first play produced on Broadway from an African American woman writer and an African American director.
