At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandma’s birthday party are underway, Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister is drinking, her husband can’t seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place...Fairview, recipient of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for drama, begins as an easygoing comedy about a middle-class black family gathering for a birthday dinner and ends somewhere else entirely. A play about race, though not only about race, it ultimately brings the audience into the actors’ community to face the deep-seated prejudices of our society.
THIS SHOW WILL BE PERFORMED AT THE BISHOP ARTS THEATRE CENTER, LOCATED AT 215 South Tyler St, Dallas, TX 75208. Click here for their website.
