TONI REMBE THEATER

Two Trains Running

APR 15–MAY 4, 2025

From the author of The Piano Lesson and Fences comes the story of Memphis Lee, a diner owner in a historically black neighborhood in Pittsburgh at the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, who must decide if he should allow the government to take over his building or sell the property to a ruthless businessman. Full of vivid characters, joy, hope, love, and perseverance, this Tony-nominated play celebrates the spirit, laughter, heart, and resilience of the people who make our country great even when faced with overwhelming odds.

Two Trains Running is being presented by The Acting Company in repertory with The Comedy of Errors.
