Radio Golf "Rich with layers of personal drama and social history" Radio Golf is the last play in August Wilson's 10-play Pittsburgh Century cycle which chronicles the African-American experience in the 20th century, decade by decade. The 1990's-set play involves Harmond Wilks, an Ivy-League educated real estate developer who aspires to redevelop the Hill District and become the first Black mayor of Pittsburgh. There is only one thing standing in his way: 1839 Wylie Avenue. The past confronts the future in the present as Wilks learns the house on Wylie is much more than an obstacle to progress. |

Eric Smith is New Managing Director
Sun, 05/06/2012 - 6:29pm — adminDear Patrons of Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre,
I'm pleased to announce that Eric A. Smith has accepted the offer to become our new Managing Director here at the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Company.
Eric has a great passion for theatre and the arts here in our city. It's a major plus for our small company that he's taking on this position at a time when funding and support for theatre programs are at a critical stage.
Eric started with us as a volunteer seven years ago, and has done just about everything, from box office, ushering, house management, stage manager, running sound and lights, to designing lights and producing our most recent Theatre Festival in Black and White.
In looking forward to our tenth anniversary season this coming fall, we are extremely excited about where we are and where we're headed, and so very glad that Eric Smith will be a major part of it.
Thank you,
Mark Clayton Southers
Founder and Producing Artistic Director, Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre
Artistic Director, of Theatre Initiatives, The August Wilson Center for African American Culture
