On Friday, January 15th, STC will host its first of three staged readings of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”—the second in August Wilson’s series of plays dedicated to telling the story, decade by decade, of the African American experience throughout the twentieth century.
Directed by Lisa Lacy and featuring actors from the Sacramento and Bay areas, “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” explores the relationships of a group of characters whose lives intersect at a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911. Battling themes of immigration and discrimination while in search for a lasting and true identity, the lives of these riveting individuals are exposed and questioned as they embrace their deeper ancestral connections and work to transcend the trials of slavery and exploitation in an evolving America.
