About That Popular 'Black Films Don't Sell ...Phylicia Rashad To Direct Stage Play "Immediate Family" For The Goodman Theatre
The play, written by Chicago playwright, actor and White House advance associate Paul Oakley Stovall, is set in Chicago's South Side Hyde Park neighborhood (home of the University of Chicago and President Obama), and deals with one family's traumatic family reunion in which all sorts of secrets and mysteries are finally revelaled.
Interestingly, one of the actors with a major role in this new production is actress Cynda Williams, in case any of you out there has been wondering whatever happened to her after Mo' Better Blues and One False Move.
This however is not Ms. Rashad's first attempt at directing a play. She previously directed, in 2007, a production of August Wiison's play Gem of the Ocean for the Seatlle Repertory Theatre.

She has also directed A Raisin in the Sun in LA, which won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Awards for Best Revival of a play and best Ensemble Performance for A Raisin in the Sun at the Ebony Reportory Theatre. This is just her first new play, that she is directing.

@Sergio: It should also be noted that she garnered MUCH acclaim for last directing effort, A Raisin in the Sun in LA.
