Immediate Family by Paul Oakley Stovall, directed by Phylicia Rashad, plays the Goodman Theatre now through August 2. Check out photos from the production below!
In the Bryant family’s Hyde Park home, prodigal son Jesse shows up for a family wedding with his Swedish “friend,” who is actually his boyfriend, turning the family reunion into a family showdown. Evy can’t understand why her younger brothers are so mysterious and distant; Jesse is afraid to be true to himself and honest with his family; and no one can understand why Tony is so eager to get married. Modern Family meets Soul Food as these siblings try to bridge their differences with a little help from God, card games and their Immediate Family.
Immediate Family features an all-Chicago cast, including Shane'sia Davis (Evy), J. Nicole Brooks (Nina), Patrick Sarb (Kristian), Phillip James Brannon (Jesse), Kamal Angelo Bolden (Tony), and Cynda Williams (Ronnie).
