Citizen Barlow is looking for peace. To get it, he鈥檒l knock at Aunt Ester鈥檚 door every day if that鈥檚 what it takes. Set in 1904, the opening installment in August Wilson鈥檚 The American Century Cycle includes the playwright鈥檚 most fantastical journey, where the secrets of the past point towards future liberation.
Featuring beloved Two River artists Crystal A. Dickinson (Wine in the Wilderness, A Raisin in the Sun) and Brandon J. Dirden (Ma Rainey鈥檚 Black Bottom, Topdog/Underdog), Gem of the Ocean is the seventh production in the theater鈥檚 commitment to stage all ten of Wilson鈥檚 visionary epics.
Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg
Featuring Stephanie Berry, Brian D. Coats, Crystal A. Dickinson, Brandon J. Dirden, Bill Irwin, James A. Williams, Stephen Tyrone Williams
