The colorful rhythm of urban life cascades onstage in the comedy-drama Two Trains Running written by Pulitzer Prize winning author August Wilson. The play is set in Memphis Lee's Restaurant in 1969 Pittsburgh where a turbulent world and changing community are viewed through the lives of a group of diner regulars.

Amidst it all, community residents struggle to cope, fight back when they can and keep their spirits high with humor, compassion, loud voices and big hearts.
