Coffee, Donuts and a Movie (Adult)
Sylvan Oaks Library
6700 Auburn Blvd., Citrus Heights
Bring a friend and join us for a classic movie, fresh donuts and coffee or tea. There is a drawing at the end of the program and a lucky winner gets to take home a new DVD of the movie. This month’s film is: “A Raisin in the Sun” (127 min, 1961, Columbia Pictures). This original movie version of Lorraine Hansberry’s award-winning play was groundbreaking when first released in 1961, and a wealth of future plays, films and TV productions have taken their lead from this socially conscious drama about a struggling African-American family. The cast, nearly all reprising their roles from the original Broadway production, offers a collection of superb performances; also keep an eye peeled for a young Louis Gossett Jr. as George Murchison.
