TWO TRAINS RUNNING and THE COMEDY OF ERRORS at Toni Rembe Theater

A.C.T.’s 2024/25 season continues with August Wilson’s TWO TRAINS RUNNING, the seventh play in The American Century Cycle chronicling the African American experience in the 20th century, and Christina Anderson’s modern verse translation of William Shakespeare’s THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, developed by Play On Shakespeare, presented in rotating repertory by the Tony Award winning troupe, The Acting Company. Exploring the irrepressible human spirit in the face of challenges both serious and ridiculous, this legacy New York company explores the stresses of economic and social turmoil, revealing how family and community can rise above the struggles to survive to find joy in the middle of the storm. These contrasting productions—some of the most passionate iconoclasts of the Western Canon—are hilarious and moving, filled with both social commentary and light-hearted laughter. TWO TRAINS RUNNING will be directed by Lili-Anne Brown. THE COMEDY OF ERRORS will be directed by Devin Brain. Both productions will feature the same cast.
