New Play About an 1880s Biracial Portland Woman Comes to PSU

Dmae Roberts is directing a staged reading of this wonderfully crafted original play Deception by Portland playwright Nancy Moss. It's about a single, biracial African American woman in Portland who lives her life as a white woman during the 1880s.

It's a stellar cast with (clockwise top left) Gary Brickner-Schulz, Joe Gibson, Spencer Conway, Amy Newman, Damaris Webb and Wynee Hu.

The play shines light on Oregon's racial exclusion laws, some of which were still on the books till 2000.
