INDIANAPOLIS — Phoenix Theatre of Indianapolis will present the Regional Premiere of Barbecue, which opens Oct. 27 on the Frank and Katrina Basile Stage. This production runs through Nov. 19 with Producing Artistic Director and Phoenix Founder Bryan Fonseca serving as director.
The O’Mallery family gathers for barbecuing, dancing, and manipulating. The goal? Trick their out-of-control sister into rehab. But with addictions running rampant and accusations flying in every direction, they are setting a record for the most outrageous intervention ever seen — all before Barbara, the sister in question, even arrives. A tangled web of scheming, deception, and family drama, Barbecue is a wickedly comedic satire that skewers racial preconceptions and dances the razor-thin line between fact and fiction.
The cast of Barbecue features Jeffery Martin, Beverly Roche, Jenni White, Angela Plank, Chelsey Stauffer, Abdul-Khaliq Murtada, Brianna Milan, Joanna Winston, Dena Toler, and LaKesha Lorene.
