ANCHORAGE - Perseverance Theatre of Juneau is currently producing its first regular season at the Performing Arts Center in Anchorage. The current run of Lorraine Hansberry's classic 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun" concludes on Sunday. In conjunction with the production of "Raisin," Perseverance and Cyrano's Theatre Company are collaborating Wednesday on a staged reading of "Clybourne Park," the 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winner for drama, which is a sequel of sorts to "Raisin" set to open on Broadway Thursday. A couple of actors from the "Raisin" cast will participate in the reading, which is at 7 p.m.
