About the Show
In the Tony Award®-nominated play The New York Times calls “an uplifting folk ballad about the pure in heart,” Cephus Miles has the whole world in his callused hands – until his sweetheart Pattie Mae goes off to college and marries another man. 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 that gives voice to the unbreakable spirit of all Americans who have been searching for a place to belong.

Originally named The Selwyn Theatre, The American Airlines Theatre was built in 1918 by producers of the same name. In the 1930s it was converted to a movie house after suffering hard times due to the Great Depression.
The venue was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. It was extensively renovated and opened as The American Airlines theatre in 2000.
In June 2023, Roundabout announced they would rename the theatre the Todd Haimes Theatre who worked to grow Roundabout for 40 years.
