By August Wilson | Directed by Timothy Douglas | Co-produced with Indiana Repertory Theatre

August Wilson’s mystical and heartbreaking masterpiece.

1911. Pittsburgh. Seth Holly’s boarding house is home to drifters and broken hearts, a waystation for folks biding their time. The residents include a restless musician with a wandering eye, a young woman waiting on a husband who’s not coming back, and an eccentric mystic who performs rituals in the yard while helping others find their song. Enter Herald Loomis, recently freed from a Southern chain gang with his young daughter in tow and desperate to reunite with a wife who might not want to be found. A lyrical triumph from Wilson’s magnificent Century Cycle, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is a haunting and poetic tale of lost souls searching for spiritual mooring in the raging sea that is America.

“Rich in poetry and humor… the sense of having journeyed through a lifetime of feeling in a matter of hours.”
– The New York Times
