Full Cast Announced for Radio Golf; Previews Begin April 20

Anthony Chisholm, John Earl Jelks and James A. Williams join the previously announced Harry Lennix (Stomp the Yard, Fox's "24,") and Tony Award winner and Olivier Award Nominee Tonya Pinkins (Jelly's Last Jam; Caroline, or Change) in RADIO GOLF, the tenth and final work in two-time Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright August Wilson's historic, decade-by-decade portrait of 20th Century African-American life.  Directed by Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun, Gem of the Ocean), RADIO GOLF will begin preview performances on Friday, April 20 and open on Tuesday, May 8 at Broadway's Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street).

Chisholm (Elder Joseph Barlow), Jelks (Sterling Johnson) and Williams (Roosevelt Hicks) have a long history with the August Wilson canon. Each created his role in the world premiere production of RADIO GOLF at Yale Repertory Theatre in April 2005 and has appeared in all seven of the play's resident theatre productions across the country. Anthony Chisholm last appeared on Broadway in August Wilson's Two Train's Running and as Solly Two Kings in August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean alongside John Earl Jelks who made his Broadway debut as Citizen Barlow in that production. James A. Williams is making his Broadway debut in RADIO GOLF.

Set in 1997 in Pittsburgh's Hill District, RADIO GOLF could be ripped from today's headlines, as Harmond Wilks (Lennix), a charming and powerful African-American politician, is running for the highest office of his career, with the loving support of his savvy wife, Mame (Pinkins). As Harmond steps into political prominence, the past is just a few steps behind him … and gaining fast.

RADIO GOLF is produced by Jujamcyn Theaters, Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, Margo Lion, Tamara Tunie, The Bunting Management Group, Lauren Doll, Fran Kirmser and Gordon Davidson and will feature scenic design by Tony Award winner David Gallo, costume design by Tony Award winner Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Tony Award winner Donald Holder and sound design by Dan Moses Schreier.

Before debuting on Broadway, RADIO GOLF will also play Princeton's McCarter Theatre from March 18 through April 8, 2007.
