“A DRAMA OF INDISPUTABLE GREATNESS.”

– The New York Times

Golden Globe® winner Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures, “Empire”) makes her Broadway debut alongside Cedric the Entertainer (CBS’ “The Neighborhood”), Tony Award® nominee Joshua Boone (Skeleton Crew, The Outsiders), and Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues) in August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, “a phenomenal drama from the American Shakespeare” (Chicago Tribune), directed by Oscar®, Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen (“Grey’s Anatomy,” Cat on a Hot Tin Roof).

Set in Pittsburgh in 1911 during a pivotal era of migration and transformation, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone centers on Seth and Bertha Holly, played by Cedric and Henson, who run a warm, orderly boardinghouse for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis, played by Boone, arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. This timeless American classic is a story of personal awakening, collective memory, and human connection that’s “searing, entrancing, and impossible to shake.” (Time Out)
