Handsome Jesse Bryant Jr. is coming home for his brother’s wedding, and he’s hired his gorgeous Swiss boyfriend to take the wedding photos — needless to say, drama ensues.

Phylicia Rashad directs Immediate Family, an eye-opening play about a non-traditional black family with some very interesting kinfolk. Journalist Art Norman moderated panelists Rashad, Paul Oakley Stovall, playwright, and cast mates J. Nicole Brooks and Cynda Williams during a discussion about the play that took place immediately following the performance.
