Carl Hendrick Lewis ('13) and Robbie Williams ('12) star in Two River Theater's production of August Wilson's Radio Golf, directed by Grad Acting faculty member, Brandon Dirden. 

From Two River Theater: 

Director Brandon J. Dirden (King Hedley IISeven Guitars) returns to Two River to direct our sixth production from The American Century Cycle—Radio Golf, the Cycle’s 10th and final play, set in 1997. Real-estate developer Harmond Wilks (Carl Hendrick Lewis) is determined to become the first black mayor of Pittsburgh, and to revitalize the Hill District. Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods are ready to move in. But one particular house on the development site, at 1839 Wylie Avenue, must be torn down, a casualty of urban blight. And that house belonged to Wilson’s legendary Aunt Ester—forcing Harmond, and the Hill District itself, into a battle between the past and the future.
