Byhalia, Mississippi at The Kennedy Center

How to Get Away With Murder's Jack Falahee stars in this new Kennedy Center production of playwright Evan Linder's uncompromising exploration of race, family and betrayal in the American South, which won Chicago's prestigious Jefferson Award in 2016 for Best New Work. Jim and Laurel Parker are about to become new parents. They're broke. They're loud. They're proud Southerners. When Laurel gives birth to their long overdue child, she and Jim are faced with the biggest challenge of their lives. Byhalia, Mississippi explores a couple in the midst of turmoil - and a town with a racially charged past that finds its way into the present. Find out for yourself why the Chicago Tribune says "we need this story of interracial friendship even more now." This incredible production is directed by Kimberly Senior, director of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Disgraced on Broadway.
