Tyler Perry has joined the Broadway producing team for August Wilson’s ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.’ Perry will serve as co-producer for the play, alongside Kandi Burruss. Directed by Debbie Allen the revival stars Taraji P. Henson, Cedric The Entertainer, and Joshua Boone and will open on April 25th at Broadway’s Barrymore Theatre.

Previously staged in 1988 and 2009, ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone’ unfolds in 1911 in a Pittsburgh boarding house run by the steadfast Seth and warm-hearted Bertha Holly. Their home offers refuge to Black travelers navigating the upheaval of the Great Migration. Among them is Herald Loomis, a man on a quest to reunite with his lost wife – and to reclaim the self he was forced to abandon during seven years of forced labor under Joe Turner. As buried traumas surface and spiritual forces awaken, Loomis’s journey becomes one of profound self-discovery.

“I’m so excited to be joining the producing team of this play,” Perry said in a statement to Deadline. “August Wilson’s work is a beautiful cornerstone of the Black experience. I’ve had the privilege of working with several members of this incredible cast, including Taraji and Joshua [Boone], as well as the brilliant Debbie Allen, who directed this masterpiece. Audiences are truly in for a treat, and I can’t wait for them to experience what this team has created.”
