Lydia Diamond's acclaimed play Stick Fly both entertains and fascinates audiences everywhere it plays. Everyman Theatre is producing the Baltimore premiere of this renowned theatrical work. Secrets unfold when the LeVay brothers bring their girlfriends to the family?s luxurious Martha?s Vineyard Summer home to meet their parents. When they see one of the girlfriends is white, long-hidden truths are revealed in this funny and poignant portrait of a dysfunctional African-American family. Under the microscope and unaccustomed to the LeVay?s affluent lifestyle, the women challenge the household dynamic. While issues around race and class are at the forefront of this play, it is ultimately about secrets, skeletons in the closet, and about dysfunctional family life.
The Stick Fly cast is an exciting mix of familiar faces and those making their debut at Everyman Theatre. Erika Rose (The Soul Collector) and Kevin Jiggets (Exonerated, Gem of the Ocean, and Fences) return while Shannon Dorsey, Kevin McAllister, and Kaytie Morris all join Everyman for the first time. In addition, while David Emerson Toney is also new to the Everyman stage as an actor, he is the playwright of The Soul Collector which received its world premiere at Everyman Theatre during their 2008/09 season.Videos
