September 5-13
Warner Studio
Directed by Tiana Mudzimurema
The fifth play in August Wilson’s American Century Cycle,
Seven Guitars is part elegy, part mystery, and all Blues. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, Wilson's freewheeling comedy takes an intimate look at seven friends and the events leading up to the untimely death of an up-and-coming blues musician. Who or what killed Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton?
Set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1948, this tale of star-crossed stardom, told in flashback, follows Floyd's last days, as his determination for a better future slams against life's harsh realities.
*Seven Guitars includes depictions and language of racism, sexuality, physical violence, sexism, and death. Appropriate for those in high-school and up.
