Experience Opportunity

A Raisin in the Sun Response Project

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is looking for 14-19 year olds to take part in ‘Nothing But Dreams’, a Creative Response Project to A Raisin in the Sun.

What does your family like about their life that they didn’t expect they would? What dreams do they have now?

For one week over the October half term, you will creatively explore the themes of our upcoming Main House show, A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry. During the project, you will collect family stories about dreams, journeys, and memories. You will then work as a company to create an original piece of theatre and perform this to an invited audience on Friday 01 November at 6pm at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, directed by malakaï sargeant.

We will always support and/or accommodate access requirements to the best of our abilities. This could be, requiring step free access, specific formatting of printed text, a breakout space, etc.

What are we looking for?

  • 14 to 19-year-olds who identify as Black
  • Those who interested in performing and devising theatre. We are interested in your creativity, passion and imagination, above formal experience.
