The line-up will open with Raisin, the 1974 musical based on Lorraine Hansberry's play about the strivings of one African-American family, A Raisin in the Sun. It boasts a book by Robert Nemiroff and Charlotte Zaltzberg, music by Judd Woldin and lyrics by Robert Brittan. Charles Newell will direct the Sept. 14-Oct. 22 run. No casting has been announced.
Raisin will be followed by Hotel Cassiopeia, a new play by Charles L. Mee that was previously seen at the Humana Festival in Louisville, KY. Anne Bogart will direct the work, which is about the eccentric American collage artist Joseph Cornell, who, while living a sheltered life in Queens, put together wooden boxes filled with pocket watches, thimbles, seashells, broken glass, and other bric-a-brac. Cornell is now prized by art critics as one of the seminal artists in American history. Dates are Nov. 9-Dec. 10. Hotel Cassiopeia is a SITI Company production.
