Event Details
Directed by Lili-Anne Brown
From the author of “The Piano Lesson” and “Fences” comes the story of Memphis Lee, a diner owner in a historically black neighborhood in Pittsburgh at the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, 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.
Pre-Show Event
TWO TRAINS RUNNING attendees! Arrive early for a special, pre-show event from 6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in the Grand Tier Lobby! In partnership with the Black Arts Cultural Center, Face Off Theatre Company, and Blackmagic Media, we are proud to host an Open Mic-style event where artists and poets of color will be welcome to share their work. Come engage, listen, and perhaps even perform (if you choose)! Then, following the performance, cast members form the show will lead a Talkback.
