The company of The Brother/Sister Plays Part 1 & Part 2, Tarell Alvin McCraney's poetic bayou-set trilogy, celebrated Nov. 16, on the eve of their official opening Off-Broadway at the Public Theater.

The production is a co-presentation with New Jersey's McCarter Theatre Center, where the trilogy made its world premiere last spring. The Public Theater engagement runs through Dec. 13.

According to the Public, "Tarell Alvin McCraney's trilogy is a collection of modern-day stories of kinship, love, heartache and coming-of-age centered around an extended family and community in the Bayou."

Here is a look at opening celebration:
