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

by Gerry

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.
