Calendar

The August Wilson African American Cultural Center will launch a new, year-long event series this fall called Beyond the Red Door: A Theatrical Event Series. All events draw from the process, practice, and themes of the Center’s namesake, August Wilson. Hailing from Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Wilson created one of the richest collections of plays in American history, reaching across the 400-year history of Black people in this country to give life to their stories using theater. From immersive theatrical experiences to artist workshops, musical performances, and food tastings, Beyond the Red Door will bring together local and national artists to offer exciting, new portals into Wilson’s artistry.

From 12:00 - 4:00pm will feature activities for all ages and from 7:00 - 11:00 pm will be for audiences 21 and older. Both events are free but guests are encouraged to pre-register at awaacc.org.
