The Acting Company returns with August Wilson’s Tony Award-winning play Two Trains Running. Set during the civil rights movement, the drama centers on Memphis Lee, an African American diner owner whose business is set to be demolished for an urban renewal project. While Lee fights for fairness and dignity, his customers struggle with gentrification changing their lives in unpredictable ways. The Acting Company, recipient of a Tony Award for Excellence in the Theatre, brings to life Wilson’s vibrant characters, rich language, and thought-provoking ideas in this poignant tribute to the spirit and perseverance of the people who make our country great, even when faced with overwhelming odds.
