Obstacles In Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun

On the crisp cold night of callbacks, I checked the website for the hundredth time to see if the cast list had finally been posted. I closed my eyes as tight as I could and hoped with all my being that this would be the show where I would get the lead. The first time my hard work would finally pay off.

Her roadblock was out of her control, yet she still had to deal with the
