CHICKEN & BISCUITS
April 19 – May 14, 2023
Theatre2 477 W. Spring St. Fayetteville, AR 72702
Fresh from its 2021 Broadway debut. Rival sisters, Baneatta and Beverly, are trying to bury their father—without killing each other first. When a family secret is revealed at the church altar, things go from bad to bonkers. With fast-paced jokes that will have audiences rolling in the aisles—and Grandpa turning over in his grave—this dysfunctional family comedy is even more satisfying than its namesake.
