August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone vividly captures an emotional piece of the African American experience during the early days of the Great Migration. Haunted by the past and desperate to find his missing wife, Herald Loomis arrives at a Pittsburgh boarding house with his young daughter. As he encounters the other residents of this transient home, Loomis’s search becomes a powerful odyssey of self-discovery, rich with spiritual release and resonance. This “spellbinding” play is the second show in The Baltimore August Wilson Celebration, a collaborative project uniting Baltimore's theatre community to present all of Wilson’s American Century Cycle plays. Joe Turner's Come and Gone runs from September 20 to October 13.
"August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
