Barebcue is a new and exciting play that will leave you laughing hysterically and challenging all of your presumptions about the American family. Come out to the San Francisco Playhouse and catch this incredible performance. Tickets are available for all performances.
The hard-partying, foul-mouthed O’Mallery family is staging an intervention for their drug-addicted sister, Barbara. With a plan inspired by reality TV, they have disguised their meeting as a family barbecue in the park—but soon it’s the whole family’s problems that are in the spotlight. Barbecue overturns our presumptions about race, poverty, and the American family in hilarious and incisive fashion.
