The cast of Two Trains Running includes Kierra Bunch (Risa), Ronald L. Conner (Wolf), Jerod Haynes (Sterling), Joseph Primes (Hambone), A.C. Smith (Memphis), Alfred H. Wilson (Holloway), and Cedric Young (West).

The creative team includes Jack Magaw (scenic design), Christine Pascual (costume design), Brandon Wardell (lighting design), Andre Pluess (sound design), Khalid Y. Long (dramaturg), Jaclynn Joslin (stage manager), and Danny Fender (assistant stage manager).

Amidst the Civil Rights Movement, Memphis Lee's restaurant is slated for demolition. While Memphis fights to sell his diner for a fair price, the rest of the restaurant's regulars search for work, love, and justice as their neighborhood continues to change in unpredictable ways.

Two Trains Running explores Black identity in the 1960s with passion and humor, demonstrating why Wilson is one of America's most essential voices. With his singular point of view, Resident Artist Ron OJ Parson directs the penultimate play in Court's ongoing commitment to staging all of Wilson's American Century Cycle.

Individual tickets are on sale and available by calling (773) 753-4472, or online at www.CourtTheatre.org.
