August Wilson is best known for his series of ten plays - dubbed “The Century Cycle” - chronicling African-American life across each decade of the last century.

In 2019, Chattanooga Theatre Centre began its commitment to present all ten plays in the series with its production of “Fences.”

Since then, CTC has presented more plays in the series - “Gem of the Ocean” and “Seven Guitars” - and this Friday, it will premiere its latest production in the series, “King Hedley II.”

Etienne Easley is the director.

Kim Jackson is executive director of CTC.
