The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window

by Lorraine Hansberry
directed by Tanaquil Marquez

June 2026

Sidney Brustein hangs a political sign urging an end to bossism in the window of his Greenwich Village apartment, where he struggles to find success as an artist. As he fumbles his way into new business endeavors, chaos ensues in both his marriage and amongst his close circle of progressive friends and neighbors. This play tackles tough questions and themes of about Bohemian culture, Judaism, race, suicide, homosexuality, political corruption, interracial love, and prostitution.

Hansberry is best known for her first play A Raisin in the Sun. She died tragically young, just after the premiere of Sidney Brustein on Broadway in 1964.
