The Play
What begins as a relaxing summer weekend on Martha’s Vineyard escalates when the LeVay brothers bring their new girlfriends home to meet their affluent and imposing parents.
But Mom's not there, and Dad's acting weird. As the newcomers find themselves under familial scrutiny, long-hidden family tensions bubble to the surface and by the end of the weekend, almost everyone at the Vineyard finds themselves under a microscope as they grapple with arguments about class, race, and cultural expectations.
Written by Lydia R. Diamond, Stick Fly played on Broadway from late 2011 to early 2012, directed by Kenny Leon and with incidental music by Alicia Keys. The original cast included Rosie Benton (Kimber), Dulé Hill (Spoon "Kent" LeVay), Mekhi Phifer (Flip "Harold" LeVay), Condola Rashād (Cheryl), Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Joe LeVay), and Tracie Thoms (Taylor).
