Lincoln Center Theater has revealed the full cast and creative team for its upcoming Off Broadway revival of August Wilson's "Seven Guitars", directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. The production will run at LCT's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, marking another instalment in Santiago-Hudson's long-standing engagement with Wilson's work, following his Tony-nominated turn in "Joe Turner's Come and Gone".

The principal cast includes Chanté Adams as Ruby, Jason Dirden as Canewell, Russell Hornsby as Floyd "Schoolboy" Barton, Kristolyn Lloyd as Vera, Michael Potts as Red Carter, Roslyn Ruff as Louise and John Douglas Thompson as Hedley. Performances begin on Thursday 5 November, with opening night set for Monday 23 November. Set in 1940s Pittsburgh, the play follows blues musician Floyd Barton as he tries to win back the woman he loves and build a future beyond the constraints placed on Black life in America; the creative team includes Kenneth L. Roberson (choreography), Michael Carnahan (scenic design) and Junior Mack (original music).
