“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), who return to the stage in a luminous revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, 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 (Cedric and Henson) who run a warm, orderly boardinghouse for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis (Boone) arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. This timeless American classic is a profoundly moving story of personal awakening, collective memory, and the quiet power of human connection.
