See Slidell Little Theatre perform Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking play, which tells the story of the Youngers—a Black family in 1950s Chicago, who struggles with poverty, prejudice, and deferred dreams. Promise of a new beginning brings hope, and then tensions throughout the household. One of the greatest works of American theater, A Raisin in the Sun was the first play by an African American woman produced on Broadway.
