Barbecue
by Robert O’Hara
DIRECTED BY TERESA LANGSTON
PRODUCED BY LAURIE MARIA CABRAL and John bosco
Performances run August 26 thru Sept 10
Barbecue centers on around the O’Mallerys, a dysfunctional group of siblings who come together for a park barbeque in order to stage an emergency intervention for their sister Barbara, whose drug habit has gotten out of hand. However, there are in fact two O’Mallery families, one white and one black. Each appear in different, yet similar scenes that juxtapose to create a dialogue about racial and family politics.
