Alumni across the country are invited to join in celebrating the bicentennial with this virtual faculty lecture series. In our first event, Thomas S. Turgeon Professor of Drama and Film and Chair of American Studies Jon Tazewell '84, along with his students, invite you to a seminar and discussion on August Wilson's "Seven Guitars."

Guests will join Tazewell's live class as virtual participants to discuss the fifth play in Wilson's Century Cycle, which captures the Black experience in Pittsburgh throughout the 20th century and focuses on seven African-American characters in 1948. Participants are encouraged to read this 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama before the event.
