Show Notes
As You Mic It: In the Spotlight shines the light on this season's production of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun. It's a powerful American masterwork of dreams, dignity, and generational resilience. Jason King Jones sits down with Brandon Burton and Noelle Dianne Johnson, who portray Walter Lee and Ruth Younger, for a conversation about family, legacy, and what this iconic play still has to say to audiences today.
