Tickets are now available for the world premiere of Robert O’Hara's Barbecue off-Broadway. Directed by Kent Gash and starring Becky Ann Baker and more, the production will begin previews on September 22 and play a limited engagement through November 1. Opening night is set for October 8.
The O’Mallerys have gathered in their local park to share some barbecue and straight talk with their sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and recklessness has forced her siblings to stage an open-air intervention. But the event becomes raucous and unpredictable as familial stereotypes collide with hard realities, and racial politics slam up against the stories we tell—and maybe even believe—about who we were and who we become.
The cast will also feature Marc Damon Johnson, Becky Ann Baker, Arden Myrin, Paul Niebanck, Tamberla Perry, Constance Shulman, Heather Alicia Simms, Samantha Soule, Benja Kay Thomas and Kim Wayans.
