A Houston Theater Company Is Presenting A Play About Race Relations On The Main Line

by Gerry August 26, 2019

Yup. Our Main Line.

HoustonPress describes it, ” What begins as a sociology lecture – four very privileged white people drinking wine on the veranda of their suburban Philadelphia house and discussing their lives – soon veers into mysterious territory when Ray (Kevin Daugherty), a successful business analyst, takes a weekly bus trip into the inner city. His seat mate is struggling black mom Shatique (a most magnificent Crystal Rae), who warms up to this most improbable passenger, the onlyWhite Guy on the Bus.  Read the whole HoustonPress Review Here.

White Guy On the Bus , by Philadelphia playwright Bruce Graham, premiered at Chicago’s Northlight Theater in 2015. Among other places, it has since been performed at Curious Theater Company in Denver, 59E59 in New York, The Deleware Theater Company in Wilmington, The Road Theater Company in North Hollywood, Square One Theater Company in Stratford, Conneticut

From White Guy on the Bus at Northlight Theatre

It’s one o’clock on a Saturday morning. July, hot night – Your car breaks down, but you have a choice where. It can break down – where’s your school?

Bryn Mawr

Okay then, it can break down in Bryn Mawr, or it can break down where I teach – North Philly. Where do you want the tow truck to come?

It’s not really a fair question.

Family Learning To Luge

Want to Try Luge? From Lower Merion, It Starts With a Drive to Lake Placid

I was watching the Luge on NBC over the weekend. I thought it was boring, especially when juxtaposed against the more dramatic events, like curling.  The color commentator kept explaining how each “slider” was doing something slightly better or worse than the others, but to my untrained eye, they all looked the same: feet first, […]

These Garments Have Been Politically Maligned

Most non-Arabs who wear the keffiyeh do not intend it to be Anti-Semitic in any way. They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily. It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
