</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In this hilarious and devastating comedy by Robert O’Hara (<i>Bootycandy, Antebellum</i>), 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. When the story twists to reveal two parallel families – one white, one black
– the event becomes raucous and unpredictable. Racial politics collide with family stereotypes, survival, and America’s fascination with self-destruction as entertainment. <b>Regional Premiere.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
