Seven Guitars

August Wilson's powerful play, Seven Guitars, returns to the stage for a limited engagement. This production at Lincoln Center offers a fresh look at Wilson's nuanced exploration of Black life in 1948 Pittsburgh, focusing on the dreams and struggles of a group of friends after a blues musician's tragic death. It's a key work in his Century Cycle, known for its rich characters and lyrical dialogue. This matinee performance on Wednesday, December 23, 2026, takes place at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in New York, NY. The Newhouse is an intimate setting, well-suited for the dramatic depth of Wilson's writing, allowing audiences to fully immerse themselves in the story. It's a good fit for anyone interested in classic American theater or compelling character-driven narratives.
