Stick Fly lyy is a play about a wealthy family on Martha’s Vineyard and what should be a relaxing summer weekend.

But everything goes south when the LeVay brothers bring new girlfriends home to meet their wealthy and imposing parents. Secrets are uncovered and dynamics of race, class, and cultural expectations come into play.
