Tony Winner Lillias White And Daredevil's Danny Johnson To Lead Industry Readings Of CHICKEN AND BISCUITS

Obie, Emmy, and Tony winner Lillias White and Marvel and DC television regular Danny Johnson (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Gotham) will lead two industry readings of Douglas Lyons's new family comedy Chicken and Biscuits. Directed by Zhailon Levingston, the full cast includes C. Kelly Wright, Inga Ballard (Ragtime Tour), Akira Golz (Matilda), Doug Goldring, Josh Adam Ramos, and Lauren F. Walker (Charm).

In Chicken and Biscuits, Baneatta and Beverly attempt to put their sisterly differences aside to bury their father, Bernard. But this is no easy task, when it's revealed that Bernard had three daughters, not just two. All the tea is spilled, not too far from his casket, as this African-American family confronts their skeletons head on; naturally with lots of love, laughter, and shade along the way.

Produced by Front Porch Readings, with support from the The Directors Company, Chicken and Biscuits will be presented Monday, November 12th, at 1 and 4pm. This is the third presentation of Front Porch, a quarterly series whose mission is to celebrate diverse voices through the playwright/director relationship with a direct intention of helping new plays to be published and programmed.
