The members of the Younger family dream bigger than the cramped apartment where they live on the south side of Chicago.\u00a0When a life-changing insurance check arrives, three generations are suddenly given the chance to turn their hopes into reality. Walter longs to be his own boss, Beneatha dreams of becoming a doctor, and Mama Younger envisions a home where they can finally flourish. As they navigate the complex landscape of 1950s America, the Younger family discovers that unity, resilience, and love can overcome even the toughest challenges in their pursuit of a better life.<\/p>\n

A Raisin in the Sun<\/em>\u00a0is a landmark of American Theatre history. Lorraine Hansberry\u2019s powerful voice is an essential thread in the fabric of this country\u2019s shared cultural narrative, and this production reaffirms PSF\u2019s commitment to sharing stories that more deeply investigate what it means to be American.<\/p>\n

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission.
