Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is August Wilson’s second installment of his Pittsburgh Cycle chronicling Black life decade-by-decade. The story takes place in 1911 at a boarding house. Each denizen of the boarding house has a different relationship with slavery in the past and the urban present.
Directed by William Earl Ray.

This remarkable presentation tells our story from the deep then and into the enriched now. I have been inspired and educated through the entertaining collaboration of artists both new and seasoned. Thank you for continuing to introduce black classics to our families & community. God’s Blessings to You!
