Chicken & Biscuits
By Douglas Lyons

May 16, 2023 – June 4, 2023

Rivaling sisters, Baneatta and Beverly, are burying their father—but it’s the non-stop family drama that might be the death of them. Beverly just wants to show the congregation what she’s been “blessed with.” Baneatta’s youngest son brings his very white, Jewish boyfriend who is maybe . . . sort of—okay definitely—afraid of Baneatta. Meanwhile, Beverly’s daughter couldn’t mind her own business if it was on a leash. But when a mysterious guest reveals a family secret at the church altar, things really go crazy . . . and even Baneatta can’t deny the truth.

“Laugh-out-loud funny. A feast of Black joy, love, and laughter” – Variety
