PlayMakers is offering audiences two insightful looks at race and the meaning of home in its rotating repertory productions of \u201cClybourne Park\u201d and \u201cRaisin in the Sun,\u201d through March 3.<\/p>\n
In the groundbreaking \u201cRaisin in the Sun\u201d by Lorraine Hansberry, proceeds from a life insurance policy give the Younger family hope for a better life. Can their \u201cdreams deferred\u201d be realized by moving into a home in an all-white neighborhood? Written by Bruce Norris in 2009, \u201cClybourne Park\u201d takes up the story where \u201cRaisin\u201d leaves off \u2014 in 1959 with a white couple selling their home to the Youngers and causing uproar among their middle-class neighbors.<\/p>\n
