From the theater: January 25 - February 23 Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center San Diego premiere By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III The comic drama from Pulitzer Prize finalist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins that The New York Times called “subversively original… remarkable and devious.” The estranged siblings of the Lafayette family gather to settle their late father’s Arkansas estate. Amid the clutter they uncover a shocking relic, forcing them to confront long-buried secrets and decades of resentment. As tensions boil over and the cicadas roar, the family faces unsettling truths about their past and how it has shaped them. Directed by Steve H.
