Drama Tackles Color Line
A powerful, resonant drama
about race relations in the United
States is now showing on the In-
terstate Firehouse Cultural Center
stage in north Portland.
“Tommy J & Sally” is Mark
Medoff’s two-character play that
takes a look at race from both
sides of the color line, exposing
not only the inevitable tensions
but also the yearning for reconcil-
iation, forgiveness, and redemp-
tion.
Directed here in Portland by
Andrea White, the show will host
special talk back sessions after
performances on Saturday, Oct. 17
and Sunday, Oct. 18. Shows run at
7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays
and at 3 p.m. on Sundays at the In-
terstate Firehouse Cultural Center,
4340 N. Interstate Ave. The show’s
final performance is scheduled for
Sunday, Nov. 8. General admission
is $25 with group rates available.
