Can sisters Baneatta and Beverly bury their father without killing each other? In this celebration of Black joy, grief, and healing, an extended family returns to St. Luke’s Church to inter Bernard Jenkins, their patriarch. Family stressors abound as Beverly shows up to the chapel with her “blessings” on display, Baneatta’s son brings his neurotic Jewish boyfriend, and Beverly’s nosy daughter keeps asking questions no one wants to answer. Meanwhile, Baneatta’s husband, Reginald, tries to keep the peace, but when a shocking family secret reveals itself at the pulpit, the two sisters are faced with a truth that could either heal or break them. Chicken & Biscuits is a touching and often hilarious ode to the people in our lives we can’t choose.
