RADIO GOLF wraps The Lower Bottom Playaz’s (LBP) Season 24: Songs Like Home, with an examination of what it means for Black people to make place and space at this particular moment in time, not only in Oakland but in the United States as a whole. It is an installation in Wilson’s query of the value and cost of progress in a colonial paradigm where success can mean playing someone else’s game with rules that change as you play. This will be the company’s first fully staged formal production since the COVID pandemic.
Set in the late 1990s, the play follows the story of a real estate developer who aspires to become the city's first Black mayor. RADIO GOLF is the final play of Wilson’s Century Cycle, a ten-play series chronicling the experiences of the African American community in the 20th century. LBP is the only theater troupe in the world to have produced this cycle chronically.
