Directed by Anne Kauffmann, “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window” transports you to Greenwich Village in the 1960s, portraying a diverse group of friends whose progressive dreams don’t quite mesh with reality.

“The work of Lorraine Hansberry continues to be a powerful call to action. This imaginatively set and passionately acted production does justice to his political vision,” Entertainment Weekly rated. While The Chicago Tribune highlighted the “astonishing force” of the play and one of America’s greatest playwrights, who is returning to Broadway for the first time in more than 50 years.
