A RAISIN IN THE SUN
Ebony Repertory Theatre production of A Raisin In The Sun
Over 50 years later, A Raisin in the Sun is still every bit as potent, poignant and intrepid in this triumphant revival directed by Phylicia Rashad.
"An absolutely brilliant cast shines on this production which is probably the best play that we have seen in a long time. A most memorable theatrical alignment!" - Performing Arts LIVE
OUR REVIEW
“You go to the theater in hopes of being entertained and on the lucky chance that you are going to see an extraordinarily memorable performance. It doesn’t happen that often but there is a most memorable theatrical alignment in full force with the Ebony Repertory Theatre production of ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ currently at the Kirk Douglas Theater in Culver City. An absolutely brilliant cast shines on this production which is probably the best play that we have seen in a long time. The story is well known and masterfully told by director Phylicia Rashad and this most extraordinary cast. They are so convincing that they make you feel like you are right there with struggling with them. The scenic design, costumes and hair designer all deserve special mention in this near flawless production. Our guess is that it will sell out quickly so get your tickets now!” – Performing Arts LIVE
-----------------------------------------------
A life insurance policy becomes a catalyst that will forever transform the lives of an African American family living on the south side of Chicago, as they consider buying a house in Clybourne Park. Their shared dream of a better life collides with conflicting aspirations, betrayal, and racism.
This classic shines an unflinching spotlight on America's struggle to overcome its past. It pays tribute to those courageous enough to shape a future filled with an abiding faith in the fundamental decency and unlimited capacity of the human spirit.
In her Los Angeles directorial debut, Phylicia Rashad (who won the 2004 Tony Award® for Best Actress for A Raisin in the Sun) brings heart, soul and a flawless cast to a production the L.A. Times says “seems more timely with each passing decade.”
“…changed American Theatre forever.” - The New York Times
