The Porch on Windy Hill

Regional
Play with Music


SYNOPSIS:

A bi-racial Korean classical violinist, Mira, and her music history grad-student boyfriend, Beck, escape months of Covid-isolation to the mountains of North Carolina. Their journey takes a surprising turn when they meet Edgar, and Mira faces a flood of memory, pain, hope, and discovery that follows. A moving, modern American play about family - with enough music for a real ‘hoot ‘n’ holler’ as the cast - Lisa Helmi Johanson, Morgan Morse, and David Lutken perform a dozen traditional and bluegrass gems.

The quintessentially American melodies running through The Porch on Windy Hill illuminate a young woman’s complex, contemporary tale of healing.



Conceived & Directed by Sherry Stregack Lutken

Featuring Lisa Helmi Johanson, Morgan Morse, and David Lutken
