The Porch on Windy Hill tickets

A New Play with Old Music

The Porch on Windy Hill blends Appalachian, Old Time and Bluegrass songs with a deeply personal, contemporary story of discovery and reconciliation. The show follows Mira, a biracial Korean American classical violinist, and her folk-song-collector boyfriend Beckett as they escape pandemic isolation in Brooklyn and journey to the mountains of western North Carolina. When they unexpectedly reconnect with Mira’s estranged grandfather, Edgar, they uncover a tangled legacy of love, loss, and music—and discover the unforeseen harmony that can arise when generations and genres collide.

Set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge and its timeless American melodies, the Urban Stages production features a dynamic cast of actor-musicians: Tora Nogami Alexander (NBC’s “Rise”), David M. Lutken (IRT’s Woody Sez: The Life & Music of Woody Guthrie; Broadway’s Inherit the Wind, The Civil War, Ring of Fire, The Will Rogers Follies), and Morgan Morse (The Public’s Southern Comfort).
