Written by Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Jade King Carroll
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 have achieved. Each member of the family has something at stake, and each member of the family is at risk of losing what is most important to them. Full of family, love and hope, this is an amazing opportunity to see one of America’s greatest 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. Raisin in the Sun will be presented in both Juneau and Anchorage this season!
