A House with No Walls | Thomas Gibbons | Old Academy Players
'A House With No Walls' sheds light on the life of Martha Washington’s enslaved maid Oney Judge. A House With No Walls, a play by Thomas Gibbons that is being staged by Old Academy Players in East Falls. It is only the second Philadelphia production of the work, which shifts in time between 1797 and the early 21st century. The show is a fictionalized version of the controversy that ensued when city civil rights leaders demanded that the reconstructed President’s House – right next to the entrance to the Liberty Bell museum – tell the stories of the enslaved people who lived there and not whitewash that piece of our history.
