Seven Guitars

Seven Guitars is a powerful play by August Wilson, part of his Pittsburgh Cycle, focusing on the lives of seven Black characters in 1948 Pittsburgh. This production delves into themes of dreams, community, and the struggles of Black Americans post-World War II, particularly through the lens of blues musicians. It's a significant work in American theater, known for its rich dialogue and character development. This matinee performance on Saturday, December 12, 2026, takes place at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in New York, NY. The Newhouse is a more intimate space within Lincoln Center, well-suited for the complex human drama of Wilson's work, offering a close connection to the stage. Theatergoers who appreciate classic American drama and historical narratives will find this compelling.
