Photos: JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE Cast Meets the Press at Planet Hollywood NYC

Directed by Golden Globe Award and four-time Emmy Award winner Debbie Allen, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is getting ready to begin performances on Broadway. The cast recently met the press, led by Taraji P. Henson and Cedric “The Entertainer”, who will soon lead the new production of August Wilson’s classic play. Check out photos from the press event at Planet Hollywood NYC below!

Previews begin on March 30 ahead of an opening night on April 25 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

Set in 1911, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone takes place in a Pittsburgh boarding house run by the steady Seth and the open-hearted Bertha Holly—a refuge for Black travelers navigating the upheaval of the Great Migration. Among them is Herald Loomis, a man searching for his lost wife—and for the self he lost during seven years of illegal enslavement under Joe Turner.

As old wounds surface and spiritual forces awaken, Loomis’s journey becomes a powerful quest for identity, belonging, and healing. Around him, others seek connection, purpose, and a future shaped by more than pain. Through poetic dialogue and deeply human characters, August Wilson crafts a story of resilience and rebirth.
