BROADWAY TO REVIVE WILSON'S 'JOE TURNER': Play scheduled to return in the spring.
*The August Wilson play Joe Turner's Come and Gone will return to Broadway on April 16, with casting and a theater home to be announced, reports the Associated Press.
Bartlett Sher will direct the Lincoln Center Theater's revival, which is the second play in Wilson's cycle of 10 productions chronicling the black experience in 20th century America.
Set in the year 1911 in a boarding house in Pittsburgh, it deals with a time in American history when the sons and daughters of recently freed slaves journeyed to the booming industrial cities of the North in search of prosperity, a new way of life, and, essentially, their own identities.,
Joe Turner's Come and Gone opened on Broadway March 27, 1988, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre and ran for 105 performances. Wilson's widow, Constanza Romero, has said "Joe Turner" was his favorite play.
