Somersal Productions presents the Somers Voice premier of RAISIN. The Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry’s American classic play, A Raisin in the Sun, runs May 16–24, 2026.


SYNOPSIS

The story of a working-class Black family (The Youngers) living on the South Side of Chicago, who fight for dignity and a desire for the American dream.  As the Youngers await their recently deceased patriarch’s life insurance check, they allow themselves to imagine a bigger and better life; however, along the way, they clash over competing dreams.  Three generations of the Younger family discover another side of racial discrimination, and the true meaning of unity, love, courage and honor. Moving songs like, “He Come Down This Morning” and “A Whole Lotta Sunlight” will have you rocking in your seats.
