American classic "A Raisin in the Sun," co-produced by the Black Repertory Theatre of Kansas City, takes place in the late ‘50s in a south side Chicago apartment, chronicling the lives of the members of an African American family. Matriarch Lena plans to buy a home in an all-white neighborhood when she receives a hefty insurance check.

Her son Walter dreams of buying a liquor store and being his own man, and her daughter Beneatha dreams of attending medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face create the drama in this beloved play.
