Within a five-year span, Penumbra will produce each one of August Wilson's plays in the cycle that traces black American life decade by decade from 1900 to 2000. This great playwright, who found muses in his friends and fellow company members at Penumbra, took up the mantle to create stories and characters that were worthy of the black people he knew, of the richness of the culture he saw. Penumbra is honored to host Wilson's 20th Century Cycle and offer you the opportunity to witness the work of a great writer staged by the artists he regarded so highly - and to rediscover a century of American life.
