August Wilson’s powerful drama explores the lives of African Americans in Pittsburgh’s Hill District during the 1960s. Full of vivid characters, joy, and perseverance, this Tony-nominated play celebrates the spirit, heart, and resilience of the people who make our country great even when faced with overwhelming odds. The Acting Company, renowned for its excellence in classical and contemporary theater, brings depth and authenticity to this poignant play.
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.
The Acting Company's production of August Wilson's Two Trains Running is sponsored by the Cultural Foundation of Harrison County and the Barbara B. Highland Fund for the Arts.
