The first play written by an African American ever to be produced on Broadway, Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun "changed American theater forever," according to The New York Times. Moxie Theatre gives the show its full due with a powerhouse cast, including Mark Christopher Lawrence who plays Big Mike on NBC's Chuck, and members of the award-winning ensembles from Cygnet Theatre's productions of Fences and The Piano Lesson. Well known to film viewers from the 1961 movie starring Sidney Poitier, A Raisin in the Sun is the story of the Youngers, an African-American family living on Chicago's South Side in the 1950s. Faced with a $10,000 inheritance, the family -- accustomed to struggling to make ends meet -- tries to decide the best way to spend the money. As they consider a new home, investment in a business, college tuition and more, they face the challenges of unexpected pregnancy, a marriage proposal, and a heartbreaking theft. Through it all, they never give up hope of the American dream. Learn More

Moxie's "Dog Act" was a fantastic, fascinating, fast-moving tale of a post-apocalyptal world where language has imploded upon itself and customs and traditions and dogmas (hehe) have been re-invented. Think "Mad Max" on the small stage. Interesting premise well developed. Great script effectively delivered. Considering(and despite) the premise, I found the characters believable. Don't attend this show if four letter words make your ears bleed, as this one takes the "F-word" to a new scale. I didn't find the foul language offensive, just extrinsic. The manipulation of language, apart from that, was captivating...for lack of a better word...Three paws up!Written on Oct 20 2009

Dog Act has a fantastic sci-fi literary quality which reminds me of Russell Hoban's "Riddley Walker", "Clockwork Orange" and with a spare minimalistic stage design of Beckett's psychological, existentialist, alternate realities. However the quality of the language, the acting and characterization is so delightful and surprising that my imagination was happily filling in numerous of the blank zones offered by this both spare and rich production. Check it out if any of the above interests you. Excellent Work Moxie!Written on Oct 16 2009

This is a really cute play with a lot of interesting and complex touches. It takes place in post-apocolyptic america, following a cart-drawn vaudevillian troop of two moving east through the woods, who meet the other kooky and dangerous characters along the way. I loved the plays on modern language and the musical performances (especially the morphed version "Amazing Grace"!). The lives these characters lead are dark, tough, and tragic, but the tone of the play is lighthearted and playful, and it has a bright ending for everyone. Very charming and funny.Written on Nov 16 2009
