Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Harold Loomis has finally gained his\u00a0freedom, but\u00a0has lost his song. His search for spiritual and emotional healing brings him to a Pittsburgh boarding house\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0a refuge for fellow travelers rebuilding their lives in the Great Migration. Staged with the intimacy and power that Penumbra is known for, this lyrical play by acclaimed playwright August Wilson blends realism and mysticism to capture a solemn crossroads of Black identity and American history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harold Loomis has experienced enormous loss in his life, and is trying to feel like his whole self again. Others in his life struggle to understand him, and he struggles to communicate what he\u2019s experiencing. How might these challenges reflect our world in 2026?<\/span><\/p>\n
