welcome you to another installment of The Etheridge Arts Ensemble's presentation of plays from August Wilson's famous Century Cycle. Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, set in 1917, is the story of Harold Loomis who returns to Pittsburgh in search of his wife. He is haunted by the memory of bounty hunter Joe Turner, the man who had illegally enslaved him. Loomis is unable to fully embrace or release the past. His search brings him to Seth and Bertha’s boarding house with his young daughter, Zonia, where “conjure man” Bynum shows him that he really is searching for himself.
