The Ensemble Theatre presents Seven Guitars

Directed by Shirley Whitmore

Set in 1948, Seven Guitars tells the story of a blues singer who is just released from prison and is ready to right the past years’ wrongs and return to Chicago with a new understanding of what’s important in his life. Unfortunately, his means of righting wrongs are inherently flawed.

The Ensemble Theatre celebrates the 70th Birthday and 10 year anniversary of the passing of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson with staged readings of his American Century cycle recognized for chronicling the spirit of African American life through the 20th Century. The theatre will host one staged reading per month October 19, 2015 – July 18, 2016.

The Ensemble Theatre is funded by a grant from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
