August Wilson's Radio Golf
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PianoFight San Francisco
(see times)
Multi Ethnic Theater (MET) in association with SF Recovery Theatre (SFRT) will present
August Wilson's Radio Golf
August 9 - September 9
at PianoFight, 144 Taylor Street, SF.
August Wilson is the author of the critically acclaimed "Fences," recently made into the film starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_Davis .
Radio Golf is directed by Gloria Weinstock and produced by Lewis Campbell, founder and artistic director of Multi Ethnic Theater, in association with SF Recovery Theatre.
Radio Golf will be the sixth August Wilson play Multi Ethnic Theatre has produced. It is Pittsburgh, 1997, where would-be redevelopers are planning to gentrify a section of Pittsburgh's Hill District, the center of the local African-American community. Destruction of the community is a common theme in Wilson's plays, but this time, it is a trio of wealthy ("boojie," in the words of director Gloria Weinstock) African-Americans themselves.
"My goal is for Multi Ethnic Theater to produce all ten of Wilson's plays. After Radio Golf, we'll have four more to go," Campbell states.
Award-winning playwright August Wilson is best known for the ten plays of his "Pittsburgh Cycle," all but one set in the "The Hill District," the African-American neighborhood adjacent to downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Culturally, "The Hill" rivaled other Black enclaves like Harlem in the 1920s and San Francisco's Fillmore in the 1940s. Each of the ten plays is set in a different decade of the 20th Century and reflects the temper of that particular time as it affected African-Americans. Only Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is set somewhere other than Pittsburgh.
