Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys
Theatre Center Calendar By August Wilson Directed by Ruben
Santiago-Hudson Originally produced by Manhattan Theatre Club The
American master and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson had a
close relationship with The Old Globe, where three of his plays
premiered. His exciting work returns to our stage with the production
that won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, directed by
one of Wilson’s foremost interpreters, Ruben Santiago-Hudson. In
1970s Pittsburgh, the unlicensed cab drivers in a Hill District garage
fight to save their business and their livelihoods as their
neighborhood gentrifies around them. As the drivers strive to fulfill
their hopes and dreams, Wilson’s bracing command of drama and
thrilling sense of language conjure stage brilliance. Contains strong
language. This series provides Old Globe patrons with an opportunity
to closely connect with productions both onstage and backstage. A
panel selected from the artistic company of each show (playwrights,
actors, directors, designers, and/or technicians) engages patrons in
an informal and illuminating presentation of ideas and insights to
enhance the theatre going experience. Each Insights Seminar takes
place 90 minutes before curtain time on the Tuesday after performances
begin, and includes an informal reception 30 minutes before the start.
