Aunt Ester's house at 1839 Wylie Avenue is slated for demolition in a redevelopment project when a stranger, claiming ownership, shows up and begins to paint it. Meanwhile, the government considers whether to declare Pittsburgh's Hill District blighted and unleash federal money for its development. Harmond Wilks has a plan to propel inner city kids into the middle class, but will it come to fruition? Will he be successful in his bid to be the city's first black mayor? Infused by the spirits and dreams of generations past, Radio Golf is a powerful, contemporary play that completes Pulitzer Prize-winner and Tony Award-winner August Wilson's extraordinary 20th century cycle of the African-American experience.
Radio Golf celebrates not only this landmark event in American theatrical history, but the Mark Taper Forum's long relationship with August Wilson, most recently with the successful Gem of the Ocean, the play that begins the chronicle. Mr. Wilson was born and raised in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
