Porch
In 1905, in New York, a stark social divide contrasts with a dynamic influx of immigrants. An African-American seamstress, Esther skillfully navigates this world, crafting fine, intimate apparel for clientele from elites to the marginalized. Romance blooms through letters from Panama-based George Armstrong as the story explores independence, connection, and the impacts of deception, racism, and classism.
The play offers poignant commentary on an era when the cut and color of one's dress - and, of course, skin -determined who one could and could not marry, sleep with, or even talk to in public. - Variety
