A Raisin in the Sun Returns to Broadway

Posted on April 8, 2014 by sesimag in Black History, Celebs, Ya' Heard? // 0 Comments

Speaking of Black girls who rock…

Lorraine Hansberry’s iconic play, A Raisin in the Sun, is BACK on Broadway! Fifty-plus years after its original run, this classic — the first ever produced by an African-American woman on Broadway — is bringing it for audiences at the Ethel Barrymore Theater, which is the exact same theater of its debut.

Starring Denzel Washington, Anika Noni Rose, Sophie Okonedo, and Sean Patrick Thomas, to name a few, this revival is a definite must-see.

Don’t live in the NYC area? This is the perfect excuse for a summer road trip with your girls — a graduation gift in the form of a trip to New York? Yes, please! Just be sure to order your tickets ASAP — this show’s only running through June and seats are selling fast!

“I love that it’s a magazine focused on a group of girls who are often some of the most judged. It’s kind of like a safe space, just on paper.”

― @IAmBriyonce

“I just wanted to tell y’all that I love the magazine 💙💙💙 . It’s nice to have a mag for black girls in my demographic and to read about stuff I actually care about.”

“What can I say? I love that #sesimag covers EVERYTHING I’m interested in. It’s well written and funny … It’s a great exhibition of black feminine dopeness.”

“I like this magazine because it is relateable to me in pretty much every way. As far as hair, fashion, age, and ethnicity. I really fell in love with this magazine when my mom gave it to me as a gift.”

― Faith E.

“I used to be obsessed with Seventeen magazine but recently I stopped reading because the culture of the magazine was very different from mine as a young black girl. I began to wish that there was a magazine like Essence, except personalized for my age group. So, one day I just figured I would research and I typed in the google search bar. ‘Magazines for teenage black girls,’ hoping to find something. Then I found Sesi magazine, and my prayers were answered.”

“There’s finally a black girl magazine! I can identify with the slang, with the topics, it’s funny and intelligent and uplifting and a whole host of other wonderful adjectives. There aren’t any other periodicals besides this one that I know of that recognize how singular and challenging the experience of being a black girl is and Sesi lets me escape to a place where it is all about ME and US. Thank you for this gift! Know you’ve found an avid reader and fan in me.”
