EVENT ALERT: MET & AFP Present "A Raisin In The Sun"





Mahogany Ensemble Theatre will culminate its 5th Anniversary season with a production of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry.

This production, presented in partnership with Amply Figured Productions, will run May 6, 7, 8 at 7:30 pm, and May 8 at 3:30 pm at the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum Theater.


'A Raisin in the Sun' is an award-winning drama which tells the story of the Younger family living on Chicago's south side in the 1950s. The story centers on the dreams of owning one’s own home, as the Younger family searches for a way to grab their piece of the dream, even in the face of prejudice and discrimination.

The play debuted on Broadway in 1959, and was brought to the big screen in 1961 (starring Sidney Poitier), and was brought to TV in 2008 with a stellar cast, including Sean "Diddy" Combs as "Walter".


For this local production, Director Angelique Feaster has assembled a double ensemble cast featuring: Wilma Young, Neverlyn Townsel, Charles Montgomery, Jori Jackson, Ariane Perideaux, Damonica Jenkins, Lexton Feaster, Trey Jones, Zhailon Levingston, Dorothea Townsel, Capel Rhone, Adam Scott and Angelique Feaster.
