Lorraine Hansberry's celebrated play about a Black family on Chicago's South Side concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations: son Walter Lee Younger, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis, and matriarch Lena. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry's portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.
In the Paramount Productions tradition, A Raisin in the Sun is a live stage play that features a company entirely comprised of local actors, designers, and production team from the Abilene area. You won't want to miss this classic play and the way in which the Younger family continues to speak to the present-day American experience.
CONTENT WARNING: A Raisin in the Sun contains some profanity, racial slurs, and brief adult content and is recommended for older teens and adults.
Location: Paramount Theatre - 352 Cypress Street

You’re invited to a funeral... Please come dressed in all black for mourning.
Join them inside the brewery all day long on Saturday August 29th as we say goodbye to some very important things and wish them the best in the afterlife!
First, the iconic Grain Theory 16oz tulip glass. A staple of the brewery’s history since day one. Many a beer has been held in this glass, and now they hold it close to our hearts as we mourn it being laid to rest to make way for brand new signature beer glasses.
They thought about just getting rid of them, but that’s not a proper send off for someone that has been with them since day 1 over the last six years. So here’s your chance, YOU can buy a piece of Grain Theory history and purchase a glass for only $5 until sellout. They only have 138… so get here early if you want to say your final words!
2) A good man that has been with Grain Theory since the beginning is also departing into the afterlife. Chef Rob, in all of his bald headed glory, will be having his last day of service with them. In leu of flowers, they ask that you order food from the kitchen to experience his guided hand crafting your dining experience for the final time.
Write a card, shake his hand, and give him your best Thoughts & Prayers as he transitions into the next part of his career, aka moving to Colorado to pursue his Chef dreams and be amongst the spirits in the mountains!
3) Last but not least, of course, Summer is coming to a close. The kids are back in school, the early morning routines are back in full effect, and the blistering heat will be something you might miss in the coming fall months. Come enjoy one last beer on our patio to say your final goodbyes to the season!
