SUMMARY:Actors' Shakespeare Project Presents: August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ON SALE NOW!\nBefore Schoolboy Barton played the blues\, before King Hedley II found his halo\, before the Charles siblings fought over the piano…\nThere was Aunt Ester.\n\nDirected by Monica White Ndounou\nIn Partnership with Hibernian Hall\nApril 16 – May 17\, 2026\nHibernian Hall\, Roxbury \nActors’ Shakespeare Project is thrilled to continue and deepen our dedication to August Wilson’s canon by returning to the first chronological entry in the American Century Cycle: Gem of the Ocean. This transportive and nourishing production explores community\, oppression\, and healing – as well as featuring the character that Wilson himself described as “the most significant persona of the cycle\,” Aunt Ester.\nCitizen Barlow thinks his journey is at an end when he arrives in Pittsburgh’s Hill District\, but it has only just begun. Having fled from Alabama and desperate for redemption\, he finds himself on the doorstep of Aunt Ester\, a 285-year-old “soul cleanser” whose parlor is filled with history\, music\, and a lively cast of characters with plenty of stories to tell. As tensions flare between Pittsburgh’s Black community and the local steel mill\, Ester sends Citizen on a fantastical journey to the City of Bones – where he must seek spiritual truth\, and the key to liberation that his new city so urgently seeks. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE
