TWO TRAINS RUNNING
BY AUGUST WILSON

Phoenix: 02/14/19 - 03/03/19*

The crossroads of a revolution.

There’s a new president in the White House. Racial tensions are on the rise. But no, it’s not 2018. It’s 1969 – and the Civil Rights Movement is sending tremors through Pittsburgh’s Hill District. Two Trains Running explores a time of extraordinary change – and the ordinary people who get left behind.

“Mr. Wilson’s most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history.” – New York Times

Spending her days caring for her ailing mother, Lucha yearns to break her monotonous routine. Here’s a wild idea: an all-girl mariachi band! But it’s the 1970s, and girls can’t be mariachis … or can they?

“FIVE STARS! A thing of beauty. An absolute gem.” – Daily Telegraph
