A Raisin in the Sun Public Programs: Let’s Talk About Art
Court Theatre joins the Let’s Talk About Art series – Hyde Park Art Center’s innovative hybrid learning program for older adults (65+) – as part of the public programming complementing A Raisin in the Sun.
Dive into A Raisin in the Sun through two virtual lecture-style workshops, followed by a site visit in which you attend the production, followed by an in-person artmaking workshop at the Hyde Park Art Center. The virtual sessions will provide background not only on the play and Lorraine Hansberry, but also Court Theatre as an organization and the creative concept of this production. All workshops will be led by Raisin Sound Designer and Court Teaching Artist Willow James.
Space is limited and reservations are required to participate. This program is free, and registrants will receive a complimentary ticket to A Raisin in the Sun.
