Phylicia Rashad directs “Immediate Family” in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C.– Rising’s Joe Duncan sat down with Phylicia Rashad and the cast of “Immediate Family” recently to discuss the stage play.

In the Bryant family’s Hyde Park home, prodigal son Jesse shows up for a family wedding and turns the family reunion into a family showdown. Evy can’t understand why her younger brothers are so mysterious and distant; Jesse is afraid to be true to himself and honest with his family; and no one can understand why Tony is so eager to get married.

It’s Modern Family meets Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner as these siblings try to bridge their differences with a little help from God, card games and their Immediate Family. The play runs nowthrough September 7th at Booth Playhouse.
