Carly Hughes and Michael Urie
Broadway alums Carly Hughes and Michael Urie star in the February 27 live stream reading of Douglas Lyonsâ
Chicken and Biscuits from 59E59 Theaters. The play, a family comedy set at a funeral, debuted at Queens Theatre in March last year but was suspended due to COVID-19.
The live stream performance begins at 8 PM ET on
59e59.org with a recorded version of the event available to view on-demand through March 3. All proceeds will benefit The Next Wave Initiative (founded and led by Lyons), a new developmental branch of The Directors Company committed to amplifying future Black voices in the American theatre through scholarships and community engagement.
