There's no parallel in American theater to August Wilson's American Century Cycle … 10 plays that together depict a century of change in one neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The Black Rep's production of the cycle's final play, “Radio Golf,” marks a milestone for the company and its artists.
Lynn & Carl talk to Nick Drake from the Fabulous Fox's production of & Juliet opening May 20th. They are then joined by Reginald Wilson starring in Radio Golf at The Black Rep opening My 14th. Plus they discuss new releases: Thunderbolts*, Another Simple Favor & Tina Fey's The Four Seasons.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!

Summary by Peyton Smith Seg:1- It's golf season, so enjoy a classic and humorous clip from the legendary movie Caddyshack.There's a new normal, and new rules on the Canmore, Alberta golf course. These rules are so ridiculous and funny that one might think they are fiction, but they are all too real.Prepare to laugh as Mike goes through them.----------------Bio digital convergence in Canada?Canadian's merged to computers? According to the government of Canada, this is indeed a thing.Read the details here:https://horizons.gc.ca/en/2020/02/11/exploring-biodigital-convergence/------------------Mike discusses the Colonial Pipeline story, and how the green new deal is about, among other things, shutting down pipelines.Shouldn't the Russian hacking job be praised by the lunatic left for leading to the pipeline shutdown?Was that not an act of saving the planet?Apparently it isn't when Russian hackers are involved.Mike cuts through the madness with amazing analysis and commentary.-------------------Enjoy all of this, and much more, in a very lively segment 1Seg:2- Mike discusses a recent episode of the Mysterious Universe podcast on YouTube, which talked about Giants throughout history. The biblical record is well known concerning Giants, with David and Goliath as an example.Historical records of Giants in N. America trace back to the natives, and burial mounds that were found which contained very large skeletal remains.Listen to Mike's full commentary on this very fascinating topic.-------------------Two symbiotic marine lifeforms who somehow evaded the prying eyes of scientists and dissapeared from the fossil record over a quarter of a billion years ago, have been found thriving off of the coast of Japan.How does a person even wrap their mind around that?------------------Has the mainstream media finally turned on Bill Gates?Melinda gates is reported to have been exploring divorce options in 2019.Tensions in the marriage over Bill's association with Jeffrey Epstein have also been revealed.Reportedly, the meetings between Bill and the sex trafficker were about "philanthropy."What does this tangled web mean?What doesn't it mean?Mike explains it all.----------------Lying Biden: No evidence people are being paid to stay home and not work Printing money and uncontrollably doling it out to people is indeed happening, and it's an ingredient to a sinister recipe for crashing the economy.This isn't a win for people who are receiving the funds, nor is it for the businesses that have been shuttered or are currently hurting for workers.------------------80% of people who are against receiving the Covid vaccine aren't going to change their minds, according to a poll.-------------All this and more comes your way in segment 2.

A native of St. Louis, James A. Williams (JayyDubb) has distinguished himself as a broadway actor, director, and educator. He originated the role of Roosevelt Hicks on Broadway in August Wilson’s "Radio Golf" and has the lead role of Memphis in August Wilson's "Two Trains Running" performed at The Black Rep in St. Louis. The cast also features Producing Director Ron Himes, J. Samuel Davis, Sharisa Whatley, Carl Overly Jr, Jason Little, and Travis Banks. “Two Trains Running” is directed by Ed Smith. https://www.facebook.com/Dubbspot/ http://theblackrep.org/ https://www.season42.theblackrep.org/two-trains-running
It's Thursday, which means theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in with her weekly review of the Maryland stage.Today, she discusses Radio Golf, by August Wilson – the final installment in his ten-part Century Cycle. Directed by Carl Cofield, Radio Golf is the story of an African-American real estate developer running for mayor of Pittsburgh in the mid-1990s who struggles with his role in gentrifying his childhood neighborhood.
She is as passionate offstage as she is on and her philosophy on life, art, and everything in between, makes Tonya Pinkins one of Broadway's fiercest artists. From her Broadway debut in Merrily We Roll Along, to appearances in Jelly's Last Jam (for which she won the Tony), The Wild Party, Play On, Caroline, Or Change, Radio Golf, and Holler If You Hear Me, plus her controversial associations with Mother Courage and Rasheeda Speaking, Tonya is one of the industry's most, no pun intended, courageous artists. Tonya pulls back the curtain on her career to discuss how she went from rejection to victory in Jelly's Last Jam, what it was like creating Caroline, and why principles must outweigh art. Also, Tonya shines the spotlight on George C Wolfe, Gregory Hines, and Eartha Kitt! Become a sponsor of Behind The Curtain and get early access to interviews, private playlists, and advance knowledge of future guests so you can ask the legends your own questions.

A quest for success, what is legal, what is fair and ultimately, what is right and what is wrong.

Great theater skillfully written by August Wilson and produced by the Court Theatre on the campus of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park. Podcast by Reno Lovison, Executive Producer at ChicagoBroadcastingNetwork.com and reviewer for ChicagoTheaterandArts.com
At the moment, Harry Lennix is perhaps best known for his portrayal of FBI agent Harold Cooper on NBC's “The Blacklist.” The breadth and depth of his work on the stage and screen go well beyond that hit show, however, with film roles spanning from Robert Townsend's “The Five Heartbeats” and Julie Taymor's “Titus,” to General Swanwick in both “Man of Steel” and “Batman vs. Superman,” and on Broadway in August Wilson's final play “Radio Golf," and “Cymbeline” at The Royal Shakespeare Company. In 2014 Lennix created Exponent Media Group and began producing his own content such as “H4,” a fresh interpretation of Shakespeare's “Henry IV” featuring an all black cast filmed onstage and in the streets of South Central LA, and the ambitious “Revival!,” an epic musical re-imagining of the Gospel of John. In this episode, Harry generously shares his vast knowledge of the classic foundations of the acting craft while skillfully placing a few perfect sports metaphors, but if you're here just to listen to his beautiful voice, I understand.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. We open with an interview with cast from Multi-Ethnic's production of Jitney (August 2014). 2.

"Doug Bell - PGA Tour Radio on Sirius/XM"
On this week's episode of the Talk Theatre In Chicago podcast, Tom Williams talks with Aaron Todd Douglas, the director of Radio Golf which is currently playing at the Raven Theatre.
"Fences" director Kenny Leon discusses his long association with August Wilson, both personally and professionally, dating back to Leon's 1987 NEA Directing Fellowship which first introduced him to Wilson and continuing through his direction of nine of the ten plays in Wilson's "Century Cycle" -- including five separate productions of "Fences" -- as well as the Broadway debuts of "Gem of the Ocean" and "Radio Golf". He also discusses his rise from an impoverished childhood in Florida to his high school rebellion against a drama club which only cast African-Americans in subservient roles to his pursuit of a political science degree in college; how he rose to the position of artistic director of Atlanta's Alliance Theatre and his efforts there to integrate the audiences and the artistic work; his decision almost immediately after leaving the Alliance to found his own company, True Colors, in Atlanta which would dedicate itself to diversity but with African-American dramatic literature at its center; whether despite his acclaimed work on Broadway he feels that he's not in the running for work beyond the African-American canon; and what projects he'll be working on next, notably Katori Hall's Olivier Award-winning play about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "The Mountaintop", and why he expects and hopes it will generate controversy over its portrayal of the famed civil rights leader. Original air date - May 26, 2010.
