The play follows a photographer, Alvin Moseby from Shiloh, Tennessee in the 1930's to New York City in the 1950's. Once a photographer of despicable acts in the name of work during the depression, in New York City he finds his true artistic calling taking pictures of legendary jazz musicians, and also meets the love of his life. But, the infamous box of pictures from his past follows his every step and haunts his every move.

POSTCARDS is directed by Rep founder Barbara Busby. Ms. Busby has assembled a cast of newcomers to the stage as well as veterans of theatre in Michigan. Dax Anderson (HAMTRAMCK) is Alvin, Casaundra Freeman (DETROIT) is Hattie. The rest of the cast includes Kelly Komlen (DEARBORN), Jacquie Floyd (TROY) and Michael Force (FERNDALE). The playwright, William Costanza (WASHINGTON D.C.) has had numerous plays produced across the Country and is a screenwriter as well.
