Named to honor the trailblazing playwright of A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry Theatre (LHT) is one of the West Coast’s oldest and most renowned professional theaters dedicated to creating theatrical works by, for, and about the Black experience. In recent years, LHT has moved to center Black female & femme identifying playwrights through the company’s innovative New Black Voices Mentorship Program, which aims to support a new generation of Black artists as they create socially impactful works that reclaim Black history, uplift Black voices, and celebrate community.
