Experience the profound and passionate world of August Wilson's "King Hedley II" at A Noise Within, Pasadena's premier classical theatre company. This compelling production, directed by the acclaimed Gregg T. Daniel, runs from March 31 to April 28, 2024, at 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107.

"King Hedley II" delves into the tragic realities faced by Black men in 1980s Reagan-era Pittsburgh. After a seven-year prison sentence, King Hedley strives to rebuild his life through the ambitious dream of owning a video store, a journey marked by self-delusion and the harsh truths of his environment. This narrative continues the stories of characters first introduced in Wilson's "Seven Guitars," offering a rich, interconnected saga of life, struggle, and hope.

The production highlights the ongoing partnership between Director Gregg T. Daniel and A Noise Within, further exploring Wilson's American Century Cycle. It's an opportunity to witness the most passionate work of one of America's most astonishing playwrights, as praised by Variety for its unflinching examination of the human condition.

Special performances include "Pay What You Choose" nights on April 3 and 4, 2024, allowing attendees to purchase tickets at a price they can afford, and a "Sensory Friendly" performance on April 4, 2024, tailored for audiences with sensory processing differences. The "Opening Night" on April 6, 2024, invites guests to a free post-show cast party, and "Black Out Night" on April 11, 2024, creates a unique environment for Black-identifying audiences to experience the performance in community, followed by a reception.
