August Wilson’s
Two Trains Running
January 23 – February 16, 2025
Change is on the menu.
Set against the economic turbulence of Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1969, diner-owner Memphis Lee finds himself at a juncture: maintain his much-beloved neighborhood spot or sell it – changing the lives of its big-hearted regulars. With the finely tuned rhythms and complex characters that define the August Wilson canon, Two Trains Running explores the beauty in resilience.

“There are always and only two trains running. There is life and there is death. Each of us rides them both.” – August Wilson, Two Trains Running
