A Raisin In The Sun – Ethel Barrymore Theatre, New York

A Raisin in the Sun

Denzel & I chatting it up after “A Raisin In The Sun” at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre! 🙂

I was in New York last week for APAC and for the 2014 Audie Awards and couldn’t resist grabbing a ticket to see one of my most favorite plays – A Raisin In The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry.  This play has been a favorite of mine since I first read it in theatre school.  It was an absolute treat to see Denzel Washington play the role of Walter Lee Younger and he and the rest of the amazing cast did this beautiful play the justice it deserved.  I have to also mention Latanya Richardson Jackson (Lena Younger) and Anika Noni Rose (Beneatha Younger) who were standouts to me, although truly, everyone in this cast was incredible. Thank you, Lorraine Hansberry – your incredible gift continue on.
