Set in 1911, *Joe Turner’s Come and Gone* takes place in a Pittsburgh boarding house run by the steady Seth and the open-hearted Bertha Holly — a refuge for Black travelers navigating the upheaval of the Great Migration. Among them is Herald Loomis, a man searching for his lost wife — and for the self he lost during seven years of illegal enslavement under Joe Turner.

As old wounds surface and spiritual forces awaken, Loomis’s journey becomes a moving quest for selfhood and healing. Around him, others seek connection, purpose, and a future shaped by more than pain. Through poetic dialogue and deeply human characters, August Wilson crafts a story of resilience and rebirth.

Producer Brian Anthony Moreland said in a statement, “We are truly honored to return to August Wilson’s legacy. *Joe Turner’s Come and Gone* is Wilson’s seminal masterpiece — an unflinching exploration of pain, identity, and hope." 

## What to watch for
- Producer Brian Anthony Moreland returns to Broadway following his record-setting productions of August Wilson’s *The Piano Lesson*, starring Samuel L. Jackson.
- Taraji P. Henson is a Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award, Tony Award, SAG Award, and Emmy Award nominee.
- Debbie Allen made her Broadway debut in 1970 in *Purlie* and has since starred in *Raisin, Ain’t Misbehavin’, West Side Story*, and *Sweet Charity*.
- Cedric “The Entertainer” is a six-time NAACP Image Award winner.

Dominique Morisseau’s critically adored hit play *Skeleton Crew* lands on Broadway following two celebrated Off-Broadway runs, rave reviews, and regional productions across the country, which made it the third most produced play in the U.S. in 2018. Get *Skeleton Crew* tickets on TodayTix now.

Detroit, 2008. The last auto plant in the city is on the verge of closure. Its remaining workers are a small but tight-knit group who can’t imagine life without the factory — or each other. Yet larger forces will test how far their loyalty goes when individual survival is on the line. 

Morisseau’s *Skeleton Crew* play is a funny, brutal look at the harsh realities facing American blue collar workers, and the impossible decisions forced upon them by larger forces out of their control. But it is also, more simply, the story of one family attempting to stay together.

Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad stars in *Skeleton Crew* in New York. A celebrated actress of stage and screen with six Emmy nominations under her belt, Rashad is treading the boards for the first time since 2009, when she stepped into the role of Violet Weston in *August: Osage County*.

*Skeleton Crew* was first produced by Atlantic Theater Company in its smaller space devoted to new work, Atlantic Stage 2, in 2016. The Off-Broadway company transferred *Skeleton Crew* to its larger space, the Linda Gross Theater, later the same year. Following productions across the country, the show returns to New York. *Skeleton Crew* Broadway tickets are on sale now.

## What to Watch For

- Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson directs *Skeleton Crew* on Broadway, directly following a run performing and directing his own solo show *Lackawanna Blues* at the same theatre.
- Playwright Dominique Morisseau wrote the book for the musical *Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations*, playing just a few blocks away from *Skeleton Crew* on Broadway. 
- Morisseau is also a two-time winner of the NAACP Image Award, recognizing outstanding achievement of people of color in the arts. The playwright has also won a MacArthur Fellowship, also known as a “Genius Grant.”
- *Skeleton Crew* is staged on Broadway by Manhattan Theatre Club at its Broadway space, the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. 
- The New York Times declared *Skeleton Crew* “a very fine new play - warm blooded, astute and beautifully acted.”
