Overview

Step into Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1969 with “Two Trains Running,” August Wilson’s story of change, community and hopes for the future. At the center is Memphis Lee, the longtime owner of a neighborhood diner, joined by a numbers runner, funeral director, waitress and a 322-year-old sage as they navigate a changing neighborhood and consider what comes next. Warmth, humor and laughter run throughout this portrait of people confronting gentrification and pursuing their dreams. Sponsored in part by Visit Gainesville, Alachua County.
