Click here for more information on this production that runs through February 19
August Wilson's acclaimed "American Century Cycle" is a series of 10 plays that depict African American life ...with each play being set in a different decade of the 20th century. The Black Theatre Troupe was recently presented with The August Wilson American Century Cycle Award in recognition of having presented all 10 plays in the cycle. Joe Turner's Come and Gone is chronologically the second play in the series, taking place in 1911. With an excellent cast and sharp direction, The Black Theatre Troupe is currently presenting a solid production of this moving drama. Director Mark Clayton Southers... has directed all ten of the Wilson plays, so he has a vast knowledge of Wilson's work, this play, and what is required to make a production of it successful, and here, with an exceptional cast, it soars." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
