“A Raisin in the Sun” performances
Join Brazosport Center Stages this spring for classic family drama, A Raisin in the Sun, on stage April 4-6 & 11-13 in the Dow Arena Theater! Set on Chicago’s South Side in the 1950s, Lorraine Hansberry’s celebrated play concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch Lena.
When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry’s portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.
Tickets for the production are ON SALE NOW! Reserve your seats online, call us at 979-265-7731 or come by The Center Box Office during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM).
