**Event Overview:**
Roundabout Theatre Company proudly presents "Home," a Tony Award-nominated play described by The New York Times as an uplifting folk ballad about the pure in heart. Originally staged by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1979 and featured in the first year of Roundabout’s Refocus Project, Samm-Art Williams’ "Home" is a muscular and melodic coming-of-age story. The narrative follows Cephus Miles, who has the whole world in his callused hands until his sweetheart Pattie Mae goes off to college and marries another man. This poignant story gives voice to the unbreakable spirit of all Americans searching for a place to belong.

Todd Haimes Theatre

Three generations of Black women gather in Mama’s kitchen to cook an important meal — and things are about to boil over. As they take turns preparing a stew, closely held details of their lives rise slowly to the surface. But time is running short to prepare the meal, and the truths they try to keep from one another threaten to reveal themselves. A heady combination of secrets, knowingness and even violence hangs thick in the air before the day reaches an unforgettable climax. A 2021 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Zora Howard’s Stew tells a captivating, funny and intimate story about the relationship between mothers, daughters and the realities that bind them together.
