Description

BARBECUE by Robert O’Hara

OCT 13 - NOV 4, 2023

Produced by Matthew Simpson + Joshua Patterson

Directed by Jaylen Marks + Epic Jones

 

When ZIPPITY BOOM rolls up into this here park its gonna be the Greatest Show on Earth!

Barbecue is a raucous comedy that centers on the O'Mallerys, a dysfunctional group of siblings who gather in their local park to share some barbecue and straight talk with their sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and recklessness has forced her sibings to stage an intervention. 

However, there are in fact two O'Mallery families, one Black and one White. Each appear in different, yet similar scenes that juxtapose to create a dialogue about racial and family politics.
