The Ensemble Theatre closed its celebration of August Wilson's American Century 10-play cycle last night, July 18.

Radio Golf is a fast-paced, dynamic and wonderfully funny work about the world today and the dreams we have for the future. Set in the Hill District of Pittsburgh in 1997, it's the story of a successful entrepreneur who aspires to become the city's first black mayor. But when the past begins to catch up with him, secrets get revealed that could be his undoing. The story goes on to explore the many sides of a man, his choices in the world, what truly is right, the importance of tradition, American values and the role of family.

In celebration of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson's 70th birthday and 10-year anniversary of his passing, The Ensemble Theatre hosted staged readings of all 10 plays from his American Century Cycle, one play a month from October 2015 - July 2016.
