Kid Actors Needed for "A Raisin in the Sun" Play Audition

Kid actors wanted for "A Raisin in the Sun" play audition. See the details below! ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: ​A Raisin in the Sun is a play about the Younger family , a Black family in Chicago, grappling with financial hardship and dreams for a better future after their patriarch' s death. They await a large insurance payment that many family members envision as a ticket to a brighter life. The play explores themes of race, gender roles, and aspirations with the African American experience of the 1950's . When produced on Broadway in 1959, A Raisin in the Sun was somewhat prophetic. The playwright's themes of Blacks pressing forward with legitimate demands and expressing interest in their African heritage were to become primary themes of Black culture in the 1960's 1970's and to this day. The title of Lorraine Hanberry's play is from a poem by Langston Hughes, one of the poets of the Harlem Renaissance. It warns the audience of the social explosions that might occur if society permits Blacks to remain unequal and unfree.
