Fairview
by Jackie Sibblies Drury
directed by Sarah Benson
choreography by Raja Feather Kelly
June 2 2018 - August 12 2018
I’ve been trying to talk to You.
This whole time.
Have you heard me?
The Frasier family is gearing up for Grandma’s birthday, and Beverly needs this dinner to be perfect. But the silverware’s wrong, the radio’s on the fritz, Jasmine is drinking, Dayton isn’t helping, Keisha’s a teenager, and Tyrone might not show up at all!
Following her “inventive,” “pulse-pounding” We Are Proud to Present…(The New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York Magazine Critics’ Picks), Jackie Sibblies Drury and director Sarah Benson show us that nothing’s funnier than “family drama.”
