I added a "Script" page to the wiki (see "Pages and Files" on the right), and you'll also found the most recent copy of the PowerPoint there.

[|August Wilson Center]: I like the Pittsburgh: Reclaim, Renew, Remix Exhibit. I think that has some interesting pieces of history we could include.

Carnegie Museum [|Teenie Harris period photographs]: I think this would be a great exhibit to include.

[|August Wilson Home]: The home he first lived in the Hill District; this may be a good place to start?

[|The Hill House Association]: I don't know if we want to include this or not, but this center has been in the community a long time. It might be helpful to visit and learn more about the Hill District. Just an idea.

Savannah, Since your the music person. I'll leave that to you. Image below I think would make a great cover page. < [|Previous Image] | [|Back to Subjects] | [|Image List] | [|Next Image] >

Just as Bearden's work was inspired by that of others in a variety of artistic fields, //Piano Lesson// inspired the play of the same title by playwright August Wilson, himself a Pittsburgh native.

I've been looking at some music and have a couple different ideas.

There are a couple musicals from that period that could be mentioned during the tour, like //Anything Goes// and //Porgy & Bess// (which played in Pittsburgh on tour during 1936).

I've also found a Youtube video of some Irving Berlin music from the 1930s: [] Love the Irving Berlin and I think using Porgy and Bess would also be great. All three good choices. I like threes. I have access to something called Voice Thread. It's a digital storytelling tool. Take a look and tell me what you think. [|VoiceThread] [|Example of a Voice Thread]
