Bold, Electrifying and Poignant

In Chicago’s Southside the Younger family struggles to take hold of their dreams against a world of obstacles. The New York Times called this the play that “changed American theatre forever.” Theatre Calgary partners with Soulpepper, one of Canada’s most exciting theatre companies, to bring this inspiring play to our stage.

This story illustrates what it means to be deeply devoted to one’s family. We are proud to be presenting such a beautiful play. - Dennis
