Atlanta Things To Do category interest

EXTENDED! The show is now running through October 6th!

Theatrical Outfit presents the classic play A Raisin in the Sun, live on stage from September 11th to October 6th, 2024.

The play has been revived many times since its debut on Broadway in 1959.

The plot, with no spoilers:

A Raisin in the Sun portrays a few weeks in the life of the Youngers, a Black family living on the South Side of Chicago in the 1950s. It comes to Atlanta with a fresh look at an American classic that proves to be as provocative and powerful today as it was in 1959. Lena Younger has decided to use her late husband’s life insurance to move her family out of their cramped apartment on Chicago’s South Side. Her son, Walter Lee, has other ideas. This powerful new co-production fearlessly interrogates the American dream in the face of racial and economic strife.

The 15@$15 Deal

Theatrical Outfit is committed to making theater accessible to all!

At every performance, there are at least 15 seats that go for just $15 each — no special status or promo code needed. You’ll see those seats available for selection on the seating chart when you buy your ticket. They are often marked in yellow, with regular price seats in red.

While the 15@$15 seats are quite often off to the far left and right, remember that this is a 200-seat theater with perfect sight lines from every chair. This is nothing like paying for the $80 obstructed-view seats at the Fox!

If you love theater but are on a budget, take advantage of 15@$15 and see a show.
