Chicken & Biscuits is a play by Douglas Lyons that made its Broadway debut in 2021 at the Circle in the Square Theatre. The comedy's planned four-month run was cut short due to the challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Lyons made his Broadway debut as a playwright ten years after he did so as an actor in The Book of Mormon.[2] The fall 2021 featured seven other Black playwrights, a Broadway record, and Zhailon Levingston was Broadway's youngest Black director.[3][4][5]
