Steppenwolf’s 1700 Theatre hosts Strawdog Theatre Company’s Chicago premiere of Robert O’Hara’s 2015 comedy about an intervention at a family picnic (from the author of Bootycandy, this makes perfect sense). The hinge here is that scenes alternate between two families, one white and the other black but all with the same names—and that’s not even the big twist. Damon Kiely directs.
