AUGUST WILSON’S GEM OF THE OCEAN Open Captioning matinee

March 23, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Directed by Jude Sandy
A LYRICAL MASTERPIECE OF MYTH AND HISTORY
Set in 1904 Pittsburgh where slavery was still living memory, Gem of the Ocean offers a searing and mystical exploration of freedom, justice, and reclamation. Racked with secret guilt, a desperate Citizen Barlow seeks refuge at the home of ancient Aunt Ester. Renowned for soul cleansing, Ester sends Citizen on an epic journey to the City of Bones, to find redemption and renewed purpose. Gem of the Ocean chronologically begins August Wilson’s ten-play American Century Cycle, chronicling decade-by-decade African American experiences in the 20th century.
