Los Angeles Valley College department of Theater Arts presents JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE by August Wilson.
Set in a black boardinghouse in Pittsburgh in 1911, this drama by the author of THE PIANO LESSON, SEVEN GUITARS and FENCES is an installment in the author's award-winning series chronicling black life in each decade of this century.

They include the proprietors, an eccentric clairvoyant with a penchant for old country voodoo, a young homeboy up from the South,and a mysterious stranger who is searching for his wife.
