SUMMARY:Chicken & Biscuits
DESCRIPTION:The Youngstown Playhouse presents Chicken & Biscuits November 20-29 at The Youngstown Playhouse Downtown. \nCan sisters Baneatta and Beverly bury their father without killing each other? In this celebration of Black joy\, grief and healing\, an extended family is brought back to St. Luke’s Church to inter their patriarch\, Bernard Jenkins. Family stressors abound as Beverly shows up to the chapel with her “blessings” on display\, Baneatta’s son brings his neurotic Jewish boyfriend along and Beverly’s nosy daughter keeps asking questions no one wants to answer. Meanwhile\, Baneatta’s husband Reginald tries to keep the peace\, but when a shocking family secret reveals itself at the pulpit\, the two sisters are faced with a truth that could either heal or break them. \nTold with warmth and delicacy\, Chicken & Biscuits is a touching and often hilarious ode to the people in our lives we don’t choose. Full of down-to-earth wisdom and laugh-out-loud family squabbles\, Douglas Lyons’ work is a crowd-favorite\, no matter what relationship you might have with your siblings. \nShowtimes: \nFriday\, November 20 – 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 21 – 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 22 – 2:30pm\nFriday\, November 27 – 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 28 – 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 29 – 2:30pm \nFor tickets\, visit The Youngstown Playhouse website.
