Ground-breaking play hits the stage at local theater
By Sindy Greenfield Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
A Raisin in the Sun is being performed at the Lawrence Community Theater, 1501 New Hampshire St., for the first time at the theatre since 1963.
It is a classic drama exploring the hardships of African-American families before the civil rights movement and is often grouped with The Glass Menagerie and Death of a Salesman as legendary plays of the 20th century.
Red velvet chairs reaching 160 in count and the somber melody of a trumpet surround the Holy Bible, an ashtray, empty beer bottles, and a tattered couch decorated in linens. These things bring the rustic setting of a ground-breaking piece of Broadway history to Lawrence. It was the first play written by an African-American woman that was performed on Broadway.
director and associate professor of English.
The play's writer, Lorraine Hansberry, was the first African-American woman to have her work produced on Broadway and was one of the first five women to ever receive the industry's attention. Hansberry's break into the world of Broadway illustrated how radical the woman and her work were for 1959, when it was first performed.
"Hansberry was ahead of her time," said Tony Harris, Versailles, Ky., graduate student and cast member. "Hansberry presented significant themes that had been brought to the floor. She talks about feminist issues, nationalist issues as well as the constant racial and economical issues."
A Raisin in the Sun does not only center on the politics of the civil rights movement. It is about the struggle of one family dealing with the death of their father and a disagreement about money that could
find them a better life than on the south side of Chicago. The disagreement stems from the selfish desire that dreams and newfound wealth bring and raises Langston Hughes' question "What happens to a dream deferred?"
"It helps us to understand our dreams and the effect it can have on people around them," said Brandon Morgan, Kansas City, Kan. freshman and cast member.
Morgan and Dianne-Yvette Cook, Lawrence freshman and cast member, are required to read the play in their English 102 class. Both said acting out their homework was helping them analyze the literature and what they hoped to teach the audience.
Cook said the play's essence was battling stereotypes and prejudices.
The play will be performed April 12-16, 19-23, and 26-30. Show times begin at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m on Sunday.
