Seven Guitars by August Wilson


Directed by Mark Clayton Southers


Seven Guitars focuses on the 1948 funeral of one of the seven main characters, showing events leading to the funeral in flashbacks. True to its mission to present all ten plays in Pulitzer Prize winner Wilson’s “Pittsburgh Cycle,” PPTCO offers its sixth play in the series—a brilliantly constructed examination of the African-American male's fight for his own humanity in the face of personal and societal ills. Last season's production of August Wilson's Two Trains Running at PPTCO was ranked #3 in Post-Gazette theater critic Christopher Rawson's “Best Theatre Evenings of 2008”.
