    A gripping and explosive tale of one family living and learning together on the South Side of Chicago in the 1950s, A Raisin in the Sun was the first authentic voice of an African American playwright to hit the Broadway stage. In this award-winning drama, the Younger family searches for a way to grab their piece of the dream, even in the face of prejudice and discrimination. Since the play's premiere exactly 50 years ago, Lorraine Hansberry's towering masterpiece has moved audiences and broken down barriers wherever it has played. A Raisin in the Sun is the second of Arizona Theatre Company's American Plays! Celebrating Great American Stories initiative following the tremendous success of To Kill a Mockingbird this spring. This ambitious multi-year series of American stories will include special public forums, readings, education programs and state-wide community-based free events. It will be directed by Lou Bellamy, Artistic Director of Penumbra Theatre and director of ATC's acclaimed production of August Wilson's Jitney in 2006.
