Seven Guitars
Seven Guitars
Set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1948, Seven Guitars by August Wilson follows a group of friends mourning the sudden death of Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton, a blues guitarist on the verge of stardom. The play explores ambition, systemic injustice, and the search for legacy through live music and lyrical dialogue. As Floyd and Hedley chase dreams in a world built to oppress Black aspirations, the American Century Cycle play reveals the enduring bonds that hold communities together.
