The Porch on Windy Hill

A new play with old music

The Porch on Windy Hill is a heartwarming and uplifting new play — with gloriously authentic ‘Old Time’ and Bluegrass music — telling the contemporary story of a family reuniting against great odds. A young, bi-racial Korean American violinist and her boyfriend leave the confines of New York City for the freedom of the North Carolina mountains where the music of Appalachia offers the inspiration they’re searching for. When they come upon her old family home and the estranged grandfather she’s tried to forget, old hurts and new joy reveal themselves through the music that binds us all together.

With a cast of endearing and relatable characters and fiddles, banjos, guitars and mandolins perfect for a “pickin’ party” — and featuring the star of last season’s breakout hit Woody Sez—this timely tale is sure to hit all the right notes.
