Documentary Watch Party – August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand

Presented by WQED

This Friday, February 20th, the PBS series American Masters and Pittsburgh’s WQED will be presenting the national premiere of the documentary, August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand. The film tells the definitive story of August Wilson, the most prolific playwright of the last half of the 20th century, who also happens to be a Pittsburgh native. As such, we want the whole city watching! (You can watch the trailer here.)

We have invited local organizations to host watch parties for the film and lead discussions about the impact of August Wilson and his work. Don’t just watch this great film at home — join others in the community to celebrate one of Pittsburgh’s legendary artists! The following list provides the details for the organizations and the location of their watch parties. Click on hyperlinked locations to get more details and contact information. Feel free to join them and bring a friend!
