The Back Porch Players

The Back Porch Players Houston's own summer stock grass-roots theatre company David Rainey of the Alley Theatre Company directs. Dan J.

The Back Porch Players are proud to present Tea and Sympathy, the provocative 1953 drama that took Broadway by storm with over 700 performances, at Main Street Theater from August 1- 18. Robert Anderson’s Tea and Sympathy still reverberates in our national dialogue. The need for acceptance in the face of deep-rooted prejudice is as necessary now as it was sixty years ago. Inside a New England boy'

s school dormitory, Tom’s classmates taunt him for his sensitive and seemingly unmanly nature. Tom’s attempts to compensate for his lack of masculinity capture the attention of Laura, the headmaster’s wife. Despite her husband’s objections, Laura comes to Tom’s aid with more than tea and sympathy and an unlikely romance ensues. Gordon, Artistic Director, Founder
Nicholas Collins, Associate Artistic Director
Janice Pai Martindale, General Manager

Other founding members include: Matt Hune, Morgan Rosse, and Troy Scheid

2013 Summer Staff:
