Chicken & Biscuits
Who Knew a Family Funeral Could Be So Much Fun?
What's a Black funeral without a soloist with a voice only Jesus could love, a eulogy long enough to merit a nap, funeral attire that's club ready, and all the laughter you could muster?! Well, that's Broadway’s hilarious new comedy, Chicken & Biscuits! Meet the Jenkins, the first family of their African-American church, who believe in God, family and keeping skeletons (and relatives) IN the closet. Watch as these over-the-top characters attempt to eulogize the family patriarch without coming to blows. Will this funeral end with a burial, a wedding or an all-out brawl? Join the congregation and watch as family bonds are tested and long held secrets are revealed in this heartfelt modern comedy about good old-fashioned family drama.
January 24th - February 11th at the Historic Dock Street Theatre
