His plays have been produced at regional theaters across the country and all over the world, as well as on Broadway. In 2003, Mr. Wilson made his professional stage debut in his one-man show, How I Learned What I Learned. Mr. Wilson’s Playwright August Wilson. works garnered many awards including Pulitzer Prizes for Fences (1987) and for The Piano Lesson (1990); a Tony Award for Fences; Great Britain’s Olivier Award for Jitney; as well as seven New York Drama Critics Circle Awards for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fences, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, The Piano Lesson, Two Trains Running, Seven Guitars, and Jitney.

Mr. Wilson received many fellowships and awards, including the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Fellowships in Playwriting, the Whiting Writers Award, 2003 Heinz Award, was awarded a 1999 National Humanities Medal by the President of the United States, and received numerous honorary degrees from colleges and universities, as well as the only high school diploma ever issued by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

Nine of the ten plays are set in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, one of many connection points woven through the multiple narratives. Though the American Century Cycle is not connected into a single linear story, several characters or their descendents appear more than once throughout the ten scripts; the character with the most appearances is Aunt Ester, a “washer of souls,” who appears in various stages of life and reference in Gem of the Ocean, Two Trains Running, King Hedley II, and Radio Golf. As a playwright, August Wilson was dedicated to cultivating social consciousness through the power of theatre, and the use of a medium through which a community could truly connect to invite an audience to bear witness to the state of the world around them, and their own place in the historical and contemporary social fabric. In an interview with The Paris Review, Wilson stated that “my plays offer (white Americans) a different way to look at black Americans. For instance, in Fences they see a garbageman, a person they don’t really look at, although they see a garbageman every day. By looking at Troy’s life, white people find out that the content of this black garbageman’s life is affected by the same things – love, honor, beauty, betrayal, duty. Recognizing that these things are as much part of his life as theirs can affect how they think about and deal with black people in their lives.” Gem of the Ocean, set in the 1900s, premiered in 2003 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago before transferring to Broadway the following year. The play depicts 285-year-old Aunt Ester, a healer and a keeper of tradition, as she cleanses the souls of those who pass through her kitchen. She leads one new arrival, Citizen Barlow, aboard the legendary slave ship known as the Gem of the Ocean, to embark on a journey of spiritual redemption to the mythical City of Bones. Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, set in the 1910s, premiered in 1986 at Yale Repertory Theatre before opening at Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1988. The play depicts the lives of boardinghouse owner Seth Holly and his wife Bertha, as they meet and share living space with freed former slaves who have moved north after the Civil War, illuminating the ongoing racism and discrimination in the post-war United States. 5 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON A B O U T T H E P L AY Jevetta Steele in ATC’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, 2010. David Downing in ATC’s Seven Guitars, 1997. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, set in the 1920s, premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in 1984 before opening on Broadway later that year. The only play of the American Century Cycle set in Chicago, it describes the rising tension between members of blues singer Ma Rainey’s band, and the desperation entwined in limited and thwarted opportunities. The Piano Lesson, set in the 1930s in the aftermath of the Great Depression, premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in 1987, and later opened on Broadway in 1990. Winner of the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, The Piano Lesson was inspired by a painting of the same name by Romare Bearden. The play depicts the lives of Doaker Charles and his household, interwoven with their various perspectives on the meaning and fate of the family heirloom piano. Seven Guitars, set in the 1940s, premiered at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in 1995 before moving on to Broadway in 1996. Seven Guitars details the journey of blues singer Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton as he seeks to define his own humanity, self-acceptance, and self-understanding and to right past wrongs after signing a record deal. The play begins with a funeral, describing the previous events in a series of flashbacks; the stories of some characters in Seven Guitars are later revisited in King Hedley II, set in the 1980s. Fences, set in the 1950s, premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in 1985 before opening at Broadway’s 46th Street Theatre in 1987. Winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play, Fences focuses on 53-year-old Troy as he struggles to provide for his family as a garbage collector, years after being forced to abandon his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player due to the persisting color barrier in Major League Baseball. 6 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON A B O U T T H E P L AY Two Trains Running, set in the 1960s, premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in 1990, and transferred to Broadway in 1992. The play examines the social and psychological manifestations of urban blacks as their attitudes toward race evolve in mid-20th century America. Jitney, set in the 1970s, premiered in 1982 at the Allegheny Repertory Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The play details the lives of the unofficial, unlicensed taxi drivers known as jitneys, as they hustle to make a living providing transportation to the Pittsburgh Hill District, where regular cabs will not venture.

The play tells the story of ex-con King Hedley as he attempts to rebuild his life in Pittsburgh by starting a family and selling refrigerators, with aspirations to eventually buy a video store. Stories of several characters from Wilson’s earlier play, Seven Guitars, also weave throughout the narrative. Radio Golf, set in the 1990s, is the final play in The American Century Cycle in both narrative chronology and authorship, which premiered in 2005 at Yale Repertory Theatre; August Wilson passed away between the play’s premiere and its opening at Broadway’s Court Theatre in 2007.

ATC has identified the following services and policies to ensure your comfort and enhance your experience at the theatre. THEATRE POLICIES Latecomers will be seated only at an appropriate and predetermined break in action. In order not to disturb patrons who are already enjoying the performance, latecomers may be seated in alternate locations until intermission. As a courtesy to our patrons and the actors, the use of cameras and recording devices is not permitted within the theatre. Please restrict cellular phone use to the courtyard only. Children under five are not permitted in the theatre during performances. Emergency calls may also be made to the House Manager’s direct line: 520-884-4868. Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the building. Designated smoking areas are located in the front of the theatre only. In the event of smoking onstage, a sign will be posted in the lobby. SPECIAL SERVICES The theatre is equipped with an in-house infrared transmission system for use by patrons with partial hearing loss or limited range of hearing. Complimentary assisted listening headsets are available prior to every performance at the Box Office. Please be prepared to leave a driver’s license or other form of identification while using your headset. Every production is available in American Sign Language. For information on the dates of our ASL performances, please contact the Box Office. An in-house FM broadcast system is used to provide a running audio description of the movement and activities onstage for patrons with limited vision. Pre-show tactile tours of the backstage area and a pre-show narration about our building, the performers, and interpretive information about the play itself are available upon request. Contact the Box Office to make your reservation for the audio described performances. Coordinated with the action onstage, those in open-captioned seating will be able to read the play’s dialogue displayed in large green letters on an LED screen. For open-captioned performance dates, contact the Box Office. Large print and Braille playbills are available for all performances in the House Manager’s office in the lobby of the theatre. Accessible seating is available via the Box Office for all performances. If you would like seating assistance at the theatre, please contact the House Manager at 520-884-4868. 32
