"A Raisin in the Sun"

The New York Times called it “…A play that changed American theater forever.” The Washington Post said it was “…One of a handful of great American plays – it belongs in the inner circle, along with Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Glass Menagerie.” Written by Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun is an award-winning drama that tells the story of an African American family living on Chicago's south side in the 1950s.

"Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom"
The Weekend Theater, 7th & Chester

By August Wilson.

Winner of the 1985 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, by Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright August Wilson, is a searing, funny, salty, carnal and lyrical play, set in Chicago in the 1920s. Dealing with issues of race, art, religion and the historic exploitation of black recording artists by white producers, the play is titled with reference to a song of the same title by Ma Rainey referring to the Black Bottom dance. This glimpse of a moment in the twentieth century African American experience is a portrayal of rage, racism, self hate and exploitation.

Directed by Danette Scott Perry.
