WABE Arts · Apr 16, 2026 · 4m

🎭 Seven years after her first turn as Ruth Younger, actor Isa Miles is back in Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun.” She says the intervening years have given her something new to bring to the role. Miles speaks with WABE Arts and Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott about returning to one of American theater's most iconic characters, why the play's themes remain universal, and what it means to lay yourself bare on stage. The Black Renaissance Arts Collective presents the production Apr. 24–26 at the Porter Sanford Arts and Community Center in Decatur. 🎧
