Grab a plate, feed the soul
In this hilarious celebration of Black joy, grief and healing, an extended family is brought back to St. Luke’s Church. With a heavy family secret on the verge of being revealed, two sisters are reunited at the celebration of life for their family patriarch whose dry chicken and biscuits were only famous to him. Family stressors abound, Beverly shows up to the chapel with her “blessings” on display, Baneatta’s son brings his Jewish boyfriend along, and Beverly’s nosy daughter keeps asking questions no one wants to answer. While Baneatta’s husband, Reginald, tries to keep the peace, the two sisters are faced with a truth that could either heal or break them. Chicken and Biscuits invites you to grab a fan, have a seat in the pew, and get ready to say “amen.”
The Jenkins family has a funeral for their father, sisters have a tension filled relationship, a son and his partner struggle with acceptance from the family, a daughter is still recovering from her cheating ex.
Adult Content: There is adult content. The Jenkins family comes together for the funeral of their patriarch after not seeing each other for years. Tensions grow and secret truths are spread out all over the pulpit.
Language: There is some strong language. Word Counts: Hell 4X, Nigga 1X, Shit 6X, Damn 4X, Fuck 1X, Ass 6X, Asses 1X, Faggot 1X.
Herbal Cigarettes: A character smokes a cigarette and another character smokes his weed pen.
