Clarksville, TN – “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like “A Raisin in the Sun”?” In 1959, with her landmark play inspired in part by the preceding lines from Langston Hughes’ poem “Harlem,” Lorraine Hansberry made history as the first black female playwright to have her work produced on Broadway.
In celebration of Black History Month, the Roxy Regional Theatre brings Hansberry’s award-winning classic “A Raisin in the Sun” to the corner of Franklin and First in Historic Downtown Clarksville, February 9th through February 24th.
