“A Milestone In The American Theatre” – Ebony

Lorraine Hansberry’s A RAISIN IN THE SUN comes to Atlanta with a fresh look at an American classic that proves to be as provocative and powerful today as it was in 1959. Lena Younger has decided to use her late husband’s life insurance to move her family out of their cramped apartment on Chicago’s South Side. Her son, Walter Lee, has other ideas. This powerful new co-production fearlessly interrogates the American dream in the face of racial and economic strife.

Run Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with 1 intermission
Please Note: This production contains mature language and themes. We recommend this show for audiences ages thirteen and older.
