Directed by Jimmie Woody. Studio Theater, February 27, 2026 through March 29, 2026. Presented in arrangement with Concord Theatricals

Finalist! 1992 Pulitzer Prize in Drama. Memphis Lee’s coffee shop lies in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, a neighborhood on the brink of economic development. Like most neighborhood hang outs, you’ll find the sage elder statesman, an ex-con, a numbers runner, a quiet waitress with a past, and a man with special needs who is looking for his ham. Compared to works by Chekhov, in this drama Wilson reveals the hopes and dreams of a community on the brink of change in the 1960s.

“Wilson’s most delicate and mature work.” Time
