Arena Stage presents Stick Fly, a thought-provoking comedy that explores the role of race and privilege in the African-American social aristocracy. Director of the 2004 Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of A Raisin in the Sun, Kenny Leon returns to Arena Stage to direct this witty and insightful comedy. Stick Fly is written by playwright Lydia R. Diamond, whose plays include The Bluest Eye and The Gift Horse, among others. Stick Fly is being produced in collaboration with the Huntington Theatre Company. Stick Fly runs January 1 - February 7, 2010 at Arena Stage in Crystal City. The press opening performance is Thursday, January 7, 2010.
"I love Lydia's play, and to have Kenny direct it is a dream," said Arena Stage Artistic Director Molly Smith. "Lydia is a great storyteller who has an uncanny ear for dialogue. She says what she thinks, feels and wants through her plays. Kenny is a renaissance man. He understands the psychology of human beings.
