A Visit to The Hill: Exploring August Wilson's Pittsburgh

Playwright August Wilson grew up in The Hill District in Pittsburgh and wrote plays about the people and struggles of this predominantly Black neighborhood. Wilson's famed Century Cycle positions a play within each decade of the 20th Century. Duane spends a day in The Hill visiting August Wilson's childhood home, which is now an arts center, with author and theater critic Christopher Rawson; We visit the presumed spot of the seminal Wilson character, Aunt Esther's home; We'll eat at one of Wilson's favorite restaurants; visit with librarians at the University of Pittsburgh's Hillman Library about the August Wilson Archive, and visit the fantastic permanent display dedicated to Wilson at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. #visitpittsburgh #literarymasterpiece #broadway #augustwilson #Thehilldistrict In this episode: 00:00 - Introduction 01:21 - The August Wilson House - http://augustwilsonhouse.org 09:20 - Visiting the apartment where August Wilson grew up 12:14 - Making a donation to the August Wilson House 13:07 - The August Wilson House, backyard performing space 14:54 - Aunt Esther's House location 20:10 - Other August Wilson sites in The Hill 20:51 - The Oyster House - One of August Wilson's favorite restaurants - the oldest bar and restaurant in Pittsburgh - http://www.originaloysterhousepittsbu... 23:36 - The University of Pittsburgh Hillman Library - keepers of the August Wilson Archive - https://augustwilson.library.pitt.edu 29:10 - The August Wilson African American Cultural Center - August Wilson Exhibit - https://awaacc.org
