BNS Productions

“One of August Wilson’s most haunting and lyrical plays.”
—Chicago Tribune

Written by August Wilson
Directed by Dr. Corlis Hayes

Set in a 1911 Pittsburgh boarding house, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone follows Herald Loomis on a search for his wife—and himself—after years of illegal enslavement. As Loomis faces his past, the play reveals the enduring struggle for freedom beyond emancipation and affirms the power of self-definition, ancestral memory, and communal healing.
