Fishin in the Sky

By: Teddy Hayes, Norman Jordan

Narrated by: Tracy Haney

This contemporary drama unfolds as a powerful family saga that explores what happens to an African American family in 2015 when an unexpected inheritance becomes the catalyst for long-buried family secrets to rise to the surface. As the truth unravels, each revelation forces them to confront deeply personal truths that are both revealing and permanently life-altering.

Crafted as a theatrical play with a rich ensemble cast, the story centers on seven compelling characters: a resilient widow, her two conflicted children, a troubled brother, and a complex sister-in-law. Through intense emotional conflict and character-driven storytelling, this stage play pulls and pushes both listener and audience into a journey that compels them to question the intricate, often fragile dynamics of family relationships.

This compelling work represents the third installment in Teddy Hayes' acclaimed African American trilogy “Urban Outcries,” solidifying its place in modern African American literature and offering a mainstay drama experience that lingers long after the final moment.
