Second Sundays with Working Title Playwrights March 9, 2008

Wordsmiths Books hosts Second Sundays with Working Title Playwrights (WTP). On the second Sunday of each month, a contemporary play is selected for reading aloud followed immediately by discussion. There is no charge to participate, and it's open to anyone who wants to read exciting modern plays.

This month, WTP's Second Sunday Playreading Group turns the spotlight on August Wilson's Radio Golf. It's a fast-paced, dynamic, and wonderfully funny work about the world today and the dreams we have for the future. Set in Pittsburgh in the late 1990s, it's the story of a successful entrepreneur who aspires to become the city's first black mayor. But when the past begins to catch up with him, secrets get revealed that could be his undoing. The most contemporary of all of August Wilson's work, Radio Golf is the final play in his unprecedented 10-play cycle chronicling African-American life in the 20th century.

Please join us for a lively reading and discussion of this quintessential contemporary masterwork by one of the world's favorite playwrights. It's FREE! It's FUN! For more information, please contact WTP's Managing Artistic Director, Jill Patrick, at 404-441-2716.
