Radio Golf
Oct 17th - Nov 9th, 2008
Spencer Theatre
Written By August Wilson
Directed by Lou Bellamy
"Radio Golf" centers on Harmond Wilks, an ambitious young politician in Pittsburgh who is balancing his mayoral campaign with a high-stakes real estate venture that depends on federal money for its success. Complicating Wilks’ life is the realization that as he pursues the glamour of public office, he could lose his own family history and racial identity. "Radio Golf" prophetically addresses some of the issues of the current presidential campaign and is the last and most contemporary work of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson’s 10-play cycle about black life and culture in 20th century America.
