RADIO GOLF - 3/22 - 4/17

Written by August Wilson

Geva's landmark five-year cycle, "August Wilson's American Century," concludes with a sleek and savvy battle for the soul of a neighborhood. There's a new wave of Urban Renewal in Pittsburgh's Hill District in 1997 - this time by African American entrepreneurs. Which side will win in the struggle between the neighborhood's deep-rooted identity, the new idealistic politicians who see its potential, and the corporate interests with the cash for a complete makeover? A resounding finale to Wilson's ten-play chronicle of the Twentieth Century.
