ANNOUNCING OPEN AUDITIONS FOR PARAMOUNT PRODUCTIONS’ 2026 FALL PLAY:
A RAISIN IN THE SUN by Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Paramount Guest Director Alisha Taylor
Performances: August 28-30, 2026
From Concord Theatricals: Set on Chicago’s South Side, Lorraine Hansberry's celebrated play concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry's portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.
