Seven Guitars

August Wilson's Seven Guitars returns to the New York stage, a significant revival of one of his ten Century Cycle plays. This production delves into the lives of seven Black Americans in Pittsburgh in 1948, exploring themes of ambition, struggle, and community through its rich characters and blues-infused narrative. It’s a powerful piece of American theater, known for its lyrical dialogue and deep emotional resonance. This run of Seven Guitars is at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E Newhouse, a well-regarded space often hosting impactful dramatic works. The show opens on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, in New York. Audiences who appreciate classic American drama, particularly those familiar with Wilson's work or looking for a compelling story with historical depth, will find this production engaging.
