ABOUT SUNSET BABY - LORRAINE HANSBERRY THEATRE'S FALL 2025 PRODUCTION
A stirring exploration of family, legacy, and the complex intersections of love and revolution, Sunset Baby follows Nina, the daughter of former revolutionaries, as she navigates the fractured relationship with her estranged father. As the weight of her family’s past collides with her present, Nina must grapple with questions of forgiveness, redemption, and the cost of holding on to—or letting go of—history.
Dominique Morisseau’s sharp and powerful drama unearths the emotional toll of generational trauma and the sacrifices made in the name of revolution.
Directed by Artistic Director Margo Hall, Sunset Baby will run September 13 - October 4 at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Tickets for the full 2025 production will go on sale this summer, but you can catch a first look at Come Thru this May.
