NEW YORK DRAMA CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD—BEST PLAY 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson’s inspired final play is a powerful elegy for a lost time, a hustling comedy-drama set in a neglected Pittsburgh neighborhood at the twilight of the 20th century, 1997. There, a charismatic African American politician is running for mayor, caught between the fresh-faced spirit of the future and the soulful voices of the past. Must he give up his song to fulfill his dreams? His hopes to protect his heritage? Aldo Billingslea (The Elephant Man) and Anthony J. Haney (Fences) star in the drama of a lifetime. Contains mature language. “A passion for gorgeous writing…his most contemporary and accessible work.” Newsday October 8 - November 2, 2008 Sponsor
