RADIO GOLF Returns to Two River Theater Next Month

Audiences will now have a second chance to see Two River Theater's critically acclaimed production of August Wilson's Radio Golf directed by Obie Award winner Brandon J. Dirden.

Back in March 2020, the production was forced to shut down early in its run because of the pandemic. Now with health and safety protocols in place, the cast and creative team are looking forward to inviting audiences back to the theater. "I think what our return to the Rechnitz stage with August Wilson's Radio Golf best represents is the resilience and necessity of live theater. Only because of the incredible and unfailing support of our audiences over the last year and half are we able to return to the story that we began last March. I cannot wait for our community to sit together, once again, and hear how August Wilson's words ring even more true in our ears and hearts today than they did 18 months ago. Forever ONWARD!", says Dirden.

Set in 1997, Radio Golf is the final play of August Wilson's American Century Cycle, a series of ten plays documenting the African American experience throughout the twentieth century. The production marks Two River's sixth play from the Cycle and will run from November 6 - 21, 2021 in Two River's Rechnitz Theater. Much of the show's original cast will return, including: Wayne DeHart (Elder Joseph Barlow), Nathan James (Sterling Johnson), Carl Hendrick Louis (Harmond Wilks) and Robbie Williams (Roosevelt Hicks). Toccarra Cash will join the cast in the role of Mame Wilks.

The creative team includes scenic designer Ed Haynes, costume designer Karen Perry, lighting designer Driscoll Otto, sound designer Kay Richardson, and wig designer Erin Hicks. The casting is by Heidi Griffiths & Kate Murray, and the production stage manager is Megan Smith.
