Joe Turner's Come and Gone
Golden Globe® winner Taraji P. Henson (The Color Purple) makes her Broadway debut opposite Cedric the Entertainer (The Neighborhood), returning to the stage in a luminous revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.
Seth and Bertha Holly (Cedric and Henson) keep a warm, orderly home for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. As his past slowly unravels, long-buried truths come to light—and everyone within the house is called to reckon with the meaning of freedom, identity, and belonging.
Directed by Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and also starring Tony Award® nominee Joshua Boone (Skeleton Crew, The Outsiders) and Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues), this timeless American classic is set in a Pittsburgh boardinghouse in 1911, during a pivotal era of migration and transformation. As people move in search of opportunity and renewal, they carry with them untold stories—of loss, resilience, and hope.
Described by The New York Times as “a drama of indisputable greatness,” Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is a profoundly moving story of personal awakening, collective memory, and the quiet power of human connection—brought vividly to life by an extraordinary creative team.
