August Wilson's "Two Trains Running"

Feb 13, 2025, 7:30 to 10:15 PM

ONE NIGHT ONLY: come see a play by "America's Black poet of the theatre!" Play by August Wilson, performed by The Acting Company, directed by Lili-Anne Brown.

From the writer of The Piano Lesson, Fences, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom comes the story of Memphis Lee, a diner owner in Pittsburgh in 1969 who must decide if he should allow the government to take over his building or sell the property to a ruthless businessman. Full of vivid characters, joy, hope, love, and perseverance, this Tony-nominated play celebrates the spirit, laughter, heart, and resilience of the people who make our country great even when faced with overwhelming odds.

Performed by The Acting Company, a preeminent NYC-based theater organization that develops the nation's best young actors by touring professional theater of excellence across America.
