The Back Porch Players are proud to present Tea and Sympathy, the provocative 1953 drama that took Broadway by storm with over 700 performances, at Main Street Theater from August 1- 18. David Rainey of the Alley Theatre Company directs.

Inside a New England boy's school dormitory, Tom's classmates taunt him for his sensitive and seemingly unmanly nature. Tom's attempts to compensate for his lack of masculinity capture the attention of Laura, the headmaster's wife. Despite her husband's objections, Laura comes to Tom's aid with more than tea and sympathy and an unlikely relationship ensues.
