Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
About the Show
Golden Globe® winner Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures, “Empire”) makes her Broadway debut alongside Cedric the Entertainer (CBS’ “The Neighborhood”), Tony Award® nominee Joshua Boone (Skeleton Crew, The Outsiders), and Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues), who return to the stage in a luminous revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, directed by Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen (“Grey’s Anatomy,” Cat on a Hot Tin Roof).
Set in Pittsburgh in 1911 during a pivotal era of migration and transformation, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone centers on Seth and Bertha Holly (Cedric and Henson) who run a warm, orderly boardinghouse for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis (Boone) arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. This timeless American classic is a profoundly moving story of personal awakening, collective memory, and the quiet power of human connection.
Recommended for ages 12 and up. *Please note that children under 4 are not permitted in the theater, and all audience members must have a ticket.

About the Theatre
Ethel Barrymore Theatre
243 W 47th St
New York, NY 10036
The Ethel Barrymore Theatre is the only theater left that was built for actors and performers affiliated with Lee and J.J. Shubert. It was created in honor of the tremendously popular actress Ethel Barrymore, who premiered in the production The Kingdom of God.
The theater was designed by Herbert J. Krapp with an exterior in the fashion of Roman public baths and a two-story terracotta grillwork screen.
