Review: A Raisin in the Sun Metro Magazine, March 17, 2009 "Lou Bellamy's 50th-anniversary production of Lorraine Hansberry's masterpiece shines with quicksilver brilliance." Review; Hansberry in the sun Star Tribune, March 15, 2009 "But Hansberry's tale is so much more - a tale of strong women and dreamer men, assimilation and identity, pride, ambition and wrenching choices hewn from the memories of an individual, a gender and a race. The power of the tale remains in a mightily worthy staging by Penumbra Theatre Company."
