“What happens to a dream deferred?”
Love, struggle, and shelved dreams bind the Younger family under their single roof on the South Side of 1950s Chicago. When a life insurance check arrives after the death of their father, it sparks a chance to break free—but each family member sees a different future, and the choices they make test everything they believe about identity, pride, and possibility. As urgent now as when it first debuted in 1959, witness this powerful revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s seminal work that The New York Times called “The play that changed American theatre forever.”
Runtime: Approximately two hours and 45 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.
