Discover an American classic that’s “an uplifting folk ballad about the pure in heart” (The New York Times) as Samm-Art Williams’ Home returns to Broadway for a season at the American Airlines Theatre. This melodic coming-of-age story is a real modern classic that any fan of American theater should see, and one of the most enduring plays to be originally staged by the Negro Ensemble Company (A Soldier’s Play, The River Niger).

What is Home by Samm-Art Williams about?

Farm boy Cephus Miles hails from a small community in North Carolina where grabbing opportunities means leaving town. He’s happy, with a sweetheart who he’s engaged to - until Pattie Mae leaves for college and marries another, more successful, man. First staged by the Negro Ensemble Company - whose past members include Angela Bassett, Laurence Fishburne, Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington - Home is a muscular but tender story about the search for home and belonging.

Cast and Creatives

This new revival is directed by Kenny Leon, who won a Tony Award for his new staging of A Raisin in the Sun in 2014. His other credits include the Broadway premiere of Charles Fuller's Pulitzer Prize-winning play A Soldier's Play. Casting is to be confirmed.

The Tony Award-nominated Play is Back on Broadway

Samm-Art Williams’ play first opened in 1979 with the Negro Ensemble Company, before transferring to the Cort Theatre between May 1980 and January 1981. It was a critically acclaimed success and scooped Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations. Now back on Broadway over 40 years later, it is still a stunning depiction of belonging that will grip audiences as much as it did at its first ever performance.
