This fully designed, fully staged production from The Acting Company is part of the first-ever tour authorized by the Wilson estate, which The Prior presents in partnership with Connecticut College and Middlebury College.

Set in Civil Rights era-Pittsburgh, Two Trains Running this work tells the story of restaurant owner Memphis Lee and his host of regulars, searching for work, love, and justice as their neighborhood changes in unpredictable ways.
