If you haven’t seen the Baltimore premiere of Lydia R. Diamond’s Stick Fly yet, be sure to check it out at Everyman Theatre.
This six-person dramedy about sibling rivalry and family expectations takes a close look at the complex family dynamics and the contradictions prevalent in every household.
In Stick Fly, the two LeVay brothers bring their girlfriends home to meet their parents at their luxurious summer house.
Upon seeing that one of the girls is white, long-hidden secrets are revealed, and the weekend becomes a close examination of African American aristocracy, sexism and racism.
This is an original, witty and intelligent dialogue about households and the different expectations and traditions in each one.
Stick Fly runs for two and a half hours, including an intermission. The last show is Sunday, April 17th, and shows are generally at 7:30 p.m., with Friday and Saturday showings at 8:00 p.m. and an extra Sunday showing at 2 p.m. Some dates have been sold out already. Tickets are $30 and all seats are general admission. Everyman Theatre is located on 1727 N. Charles St.
