Stick Fly began Broadway previews Nov. 18 and officially opened at the Cort Dec. 8. Tickets are now on sale through Feb. 28, 2012. Tony-nominated director Kenny Leon (The Mountaintop, Fences, A Raisin in the Sun) staged the production.
The creative team includes David Gallo (scenic design) and Reggie Ray (costume design), Beverly Emmons (lighting design) and Richard Fitzgerald/Sound Associates (sound design). According to producers, "It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend at the family home on Martha’s Vineyard… until the baggage got unpacked. Set at the elegant summer home of the well-to-do LeVay family, Stick Fly begins when two adult sons bring their significant others (one a fiancée, the other a new girlfriend) home to meet their parents for the first time. Soon, secrets are revealed, civilities are dropped and identities are explored in a harsh new light. Race and rivalry, class and family, all come together for an explosive comedy of manners about today’s complex world."
In addition to Keys, the play is produced by Nelle Nugent, Samuel Nappi, Reuben Cannon, Jay H. Harris/Catherine Schreiber, Huntington Theatre Company, Dan Frishwasser, Charles Salameno, Sharon A. Carr/Patricia Klausner/Rick Danzansky in association with Joseph Sirola, Eric Falkenstein, Kenneth Teaton.
