ABOUT THE PLAY:
When the LeVay brothers bring their significant others to the family’s vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard, the weekend exposes secrets, assumptions, and long-standing tensions. With wit and emotional depth, Stick Fly examines race, class, gender, and generational divide in a story that’s as poignant as it is provocative.
