Radio Golf Neighborhood Journal

February 09, 2012 by Kelsey Ferguson, Engagement Intern in Radio Golf

August Wilson’s Radio Golf asks the questions, “Can you build the future without bulldozing the past?” Our area is in a time of transition right now, too, and we wanted to know how our audiences’ neighborhoods have changed. A 4’x8’ version of this map of Cuyahoga County is in the Allen Lobby, and people are placing a pin where they live—green for positive change, red for negative—then sharing their stories in our Neighborhood Journal. We’ll be posting selected Journal entries online throughout the run of Radio Golf, so check back to see how your experiences compare.

The Season of August

February 03, 2012 by Cosandra Wheeler, Group Sales Manager in Radio Golf

For some, August Wilson is African-American Theater. His plays are the ones most likely to appear in anthologies as representative of the works of African-American drama.

Cleveland Play House is proud to join 4 other NE Ohio area theatres who are all producing works by August Wilson this year.

That's especially true of our next show, Radio Golf, by legendary playwright August Wilson. This play asks "Can you build the future without bulldozing the past," and couldn't be more relevant to Cleveland. Wilson astutely weaves issues of race and gender, economic and educational privilege, and civic duty into a play filled with characters we can relate to and care about.

Since this play is so full of big, juicy questions, we're partnering with civic, business and education leaders throughout the community to... more
