Joe Turner's Come and Gone
About This Event
August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre features Cedric the Entertainer, Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Taraji P. Each brings a distinct approach to Wilson’s text: Cedric with stand-up–honed timing and rhythmic control, Santiago-Hudson with text-driven precision rooted in a Tony-winning career, and Taraji with screen-to-stage presence and calibrated emotional legibility.
