Goodman Theatre presents The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window by Lorraine Hansberry, the famed author of A RAISIN IN THE SUN is one of Chicago's first great playwrights. Obie Award winner Anne Kauffman directsthis major revival of premiered on Broadway just three months before her untimely death in 1965 at age 34. The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window follows Sidney Brustein in Greenwich Village, 1964: a magnet for ideals and activism of every stripe.
