An area theater that does consistently fine work is beginning its last season in its current home.
Everyman Theatre's upcoming season is slated to be its final one on N. Charles Street, in the Station North arts and entertainment district.
Work is well under way on its new home downtown in the renovated Town Theater, just around the corner from the Hippodrome Theatre.
So this will be a season to remember in the long local history of Everyman. It kicks off Sept. 7 with Lorraine Hansberry's classic drama, "A Raisin in the Sun."
This timeless story about the aspirations of a black family in Chicago in the 1950s still resonates in any discussion of the American dream. The Hansberry play runs weekends through Oct. 9.
The remainder of the Everyman season leans toward the classic. Noel Coward's wonderfully wry and romantic "Private Lives" is up next, followed by Michael Weller's "Fifty Words," Tarell McCraney's "The Brothers Size," and George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's "You Can't Take It With You."
That latter sounds like an apt choice for the final production in Everyman's current home, which has served it well for the past 16 seasons.
