Barbeque Auditions
Join us at auditions for the 3rd show of our 104th season!
In this hilarious and devastating comedy by Robert O’Hara (Bootycandy, Antebellum), the pill-popping, chain-smoking, whiskey-swilling and foul-mouthed O’Mallerys have gathered in their local park to share some barbecue and straight talk with their trainwreck of a sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and recklessness has forced her siblings to stage an open-air intervention. The story twists to reveal two parallel families – one white, one black – who alternate and mirror each other’s dialogue, costumes, and behaviors without any physical attempt to change or explain the racial shift. Racial politics collide with family stereotypes, challenging audiences beliefs about addiction, class, race, and America’s fascination with self-destruction as entertainment.
