This play had a great ensemble with well known actors involved, both on stage and in the audience. Words cannot express my joy at having seen ths play, so I will just say, "I enjoyed this play immensely!" There is no bad seat in the house. At most smaller theaters, I tend to need a jacket, but this theater is intimate and well maintained (and we didn't freeze at all -- temperature very steady and comfortable). I would definitely recommend this play to all Goldstar members.Written on Oct 27 2008

Thank You Goldstar for the great seats, I did not expect to be so close to the stage. My mother truly enjoyed the play, I, on the otherhand felt the actors lines were wayyy too long and the theater was wayyy too cold. On the upside, the theater was very clean, staff was courteous and friendly and the sculputres are magnificent!!!Written on Nov 03 2008
I would definitely visit the Nate Holden theatre in the future, toting my shawl or jacket :-)

Description
Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Best Play Award and from the mind of one of America’s most important dramatists, August Wilson’s Two Trains Running reveals a world where money is short and justice an afterthought. Set in 1969 in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Two Trains Running is one of Wilson’s most overtly political and often humorous plays. This is the 1960s chapter of the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright's century cycle chronicling the lives of ordinary African Americans in the 20th century.
The cast includes (in alphabetical order) Earl Billings, Russell Hornsby, Felton Perry, Roger Robinson, Glynn Turman, Michole Briana White, and Ellis E. Williams.
