"Stick Fly"
Written by Lydia Diamond

Welcome to the LeVay family summer gathering on Martha’s Vineyard, set in the luxurious mansion they have owned for generations. There is a long history of Black elites making the Vineyard their destination for vacation and residence, and the status and surroundings of our characters immediately introduce us to a condition of African American life that we do not often see portrayed on stage.

Ultimately, “Stick Fly” is a play about love and family that explores themes of race and privilege through the lens of class and status. We learn the idea that just because you are privileged doesn’t necessarily mean you are fortunate. And you may come from or have a fortune, but you may not always be privileged.
