Seven Guitars

August Wilson's Seven Guitars is a powerful entry in his "Pittsburgh Cycle," exploring the lives of seven characters in 1948 as they grapple with dreams, injustices, and the blues. This production brings Wilson's lyrical storytelling and complex character studies to the stage, offering a deep dive into post-war African American life through the lens of music and community. This matinee showing of Seven Guitars takes place on Saturday, December 26, 2026, at the Mitzi E Newhouse Theater within Lincoln Center in New York. The Mitzi E Newhouse is known for its intimate setting, often ideal for character-driven dramas that benefit from a close connection between audience and performers. This play will resonate with those interested in American history, classic theater, and compelling narratives.
