October 12 – November 9, 2025
As part of our commitment to presenting August Wilson’s work, we bring you our sixth production of his American Century Cycle: Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, a powerful and poetic play set in a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911. It follows a group of men and women searching for lost family, identity, and purpose in the aftermath of slavery and during the Great Migration. When a mysterious stranger arrives looking for his long-lost wife, hidden pain and buried pasts come to the surface. With rich characters and lyrical dialogue, the play explores themes of freedom, self-discovery, and the enduring power of community and spiritual healing.
