You’re probably well acquainted with the lovely Anika Noni Rose who’s been in films from ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ ‘Dreamgirls’ and “For Colored Girls…”. The Tony-award winner (Caroline or Change) is currently holding her own on stage in A Raisin in the Sun, with the likes of Denzel Washington, Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda/Skin) as Beneatha, the younger sister of the main character Walter (played by Washington). The show has gotten favorable reviews-even the Obamas couldn’t resist going to see the play. Tickets are hard to come by but I would still suggest trying to snag one or two.
