Court Theatre opens 64th Season with August Wilson's RADIO GOLF

Court Theatre, under the continuing leadership of Charles Newell, Marilyn F. Vitale Artistic Director, opens its 2018/19 season with August Wilson's Radio Golf, directed by Resident Artist Ron OJ Parson. Radio Golf runs August 30 - September 30, 2018 at Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Ave.

Real estate developer Harmond Wilks is determined to become the first black mayor of Pittsburgh, on a mission to revive his blighted childhood neighborhood. As Wilks confronts characters from the past, he is forced to question how pursuing change could put his neighborhood's history at risk.

Radio Golf is the tenth and final play in August Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle, and director Ron OJ Parson's seventh production in the cycle at Court Theatre. Actors James T. Alfred (Sterling), Allen Gilmore (Harmond), Ann Joseph (Mame), James Vincent Meredith (Roosevelt), and Alfred H. Wilson (Old Joe) return to the Court stage.
