The Public Theater presents the world premiere of Barbecue, written by Obie Award winner Robert O'Hara. Directed by Kent Gash,Barbecue began previews on September 22 and runs through Sunday, November 1, with an official press opening tonight, October 8. BroadwayWorld brings you shots from opening night below!
The complete cast of Barbecue featuresBecky Ann Baker, John Earl Jelks, Arden Myrin, Paul Niebanck, Tamberla Perry,Constance Shulman, Heather Alicia Simms,Samantha Soule, Benja Kay Thomas, and Kim Wayans.
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. Kent Gash directs this new play that proves family can be a bigger vice than any other addiction.
BARBECUE features scenic design by Clint Ramos; costume design by Paul Tazewell; lighting design by Jason Lyons; and original music & sound design by Lindsay Jones.
