Middletown Arts Center and Dunbar Repertory Company present August Wilson's Two Trains Running from February 6 to 16, 2025. Set in the 1969 Pittsburgh Hill District, the play examines racial tensions through the lives of patrons at a struggling diner owned by Memphis Lee, portrayed by Arthur Gregory Pugh. The narrative focuses on characters like Risa, a reserved waitress, and Sterling, a hopeful ex-con, who confront issues of dignity and systemic racism amid societal change. Directed by Mark Antonio Henderson, this production highlights themes of resilience and justice within the African American experience.
