Set in the South Side of Chicago during the volatile time period between 1973 and 1983, Samuel L. Kelley's Pill Hill simmers with the energy of six African-American steel-mill workers searching for an elusive American Dream. Beneath the bleak bravado of the six friends' lives lies a sense of loss, detachment and resentment. You'll meet people who never have a chance for advancement and others who progress only to be besieged by questions of guilt and responsibility. Those who succeed in "Pill Hill" pay a severe price, although some steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the consequences of their actions.

August Wilson's Tony-nominated Gem of the Ocean is the first installment of his 10-play decade-by-decade series charting the experience of African Americans in the 20th century. The play is set in 1904 in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, where the 285-year-old Aunt Ester welcomes into her parlor Solly Two Kings, a former slave and scout for the Union Army, and Citizen Barlow, a man in search of healing and a new life. A cleanser of souls, Aunt Ester sends Citizen Barlow on a remarkable voyage aboard the legendary slave ship Gem of the Ocean to the City of Bones, where he must face his ancestors' suffering and his own sins before he can find the redemption he seeks.

My girlfriend and enjoyed Pill Hill. I actually sported my afro hairstyle to the play. The venue was great and easy to locate. I hope people will continue to support the theater group and Southwest Arts Center.
Before attending the play, we enjoy Sunday Brunch at Landon's which was about 5 minutes away.

Great Sunday Event!!!

I really enjoyed the play. I left there thinking about choices we make in life and opportunities that can pass you by. I saw myself and others that I know in the characters. It was very well written and touching. A must see... especially for the younger generations.
