Complete with 12 classic blues songs, including "Sweet Home Chicago," Pullman Porter Blues is the world-premiere production that reveals the true heroes hidden within every man. Set in June 1937 aboard the Panama Limited, bound from Chicago to New Orleans and bouncing to the beat of the rollicking Midwest blues. Most folks are tuned in to the Joe Louis/James Braddock championship bout, but the men of the Sykes family -three generations of porters- know there's more at stake than just a boxing title, as they battle each other, racial tensions and an uncertain future. Will the hope they get from the 'Brown Bomber' be the fuel their family needs to make a better life or will progress tear them apart?
