    About This Event

    Joe Turner's Come and Gone at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre features Cedric the Entertainer, Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Taraji P. in the company. Each brings a distinct resource to Wilson’s play: Cedric's rhythmic timing from stand-up and film, Santiago-Hudson's Tony-winning, text-focused craft, and Taraji P.'s emotionally legible stage presence.
