A Raisin In The Sun


By LORRAINE HANSBERRY

Directed by WEYNI MENGESHA

Featuring
CHARLES OFFICER, ALISON SEALY-SMITH
AND STEPHEN HAIR


Bold, Electrifying and Poignant


On Chicago’s South Side, the Younger family struggles to take hold of their dreams against a world of obstacles. The New York Times called this the play that “changed American theatre forever.” We are partnering with Soulpepper, one of Canada’s most exciting theatre companies, to bring this inspiring play to our stage.

This story illustrates what it means to be deeply devoted to one’s family. We are proud to be presenting such a beautiful play.
