Joe Turner's Come and Gone
About This Event
August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is staged at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre with Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P and Ruben Santiago-Hudson in the cast. The billing brings a mix of backgrounds: Cedric’s stand-up and screen work informs a rhythmic, character-focused stage approach, while Taraji P’s film and television career — and a Tony nomination — contributes screen-honed timing and emotional clarity to Wilson’s ensemble drama.
