PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – The Porch Room Independent Film & Theater Company today announced that it has signed a development agreement with New York performer Nazli Sarpkaya that encompasses at least three new productions between the 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 seasons.

Ms. Sarpkaya starred in the New York production of The Porch Room’s Antony & Cleopatra: Infinite Lives and was singled out for her performance by NYTheater.com saying “She is an honest, accessible actress with range.  She made a very demanding role appear effortless.  Brava.“
