Wilson Cycle JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE Live Webcast Airs 9/4

Esteemed stage and screen star and noted August Wilson proponent/performer Phylicia Rashad stages a revival of Wilson's acclaimed drama JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE tonight as part of a live webcast series presenting the ten 20th century cycle plays by the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, following successful presentations of Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM and FENCES last month.

The official description of JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE is as follows: "Joe Turner's Come and Gone is set in Pittsburgh in the 1910's. The play chronicles the lives of a few freed former enslaved African Americans and deals with themes of identity, migration and the conflicts of racism and discrimination."

Phylicia Rashad's production of JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE stars Keith David, Taraji P. Henson, S. Epatha Merkerson, Roger Robinson, Raynor Scheine, Jason Dirden, John Douglas Thompson, January LaVoy, Nile Bullock and Alexis Holt.

The next play to be presented as part of the live webcast series will be THE PIANO LESSON on September 9. More information on the series is available here.
