MST3K launched in 1988, before the rise of YouTube and other social media, and decades before videos of people reacting to things would become ubiquitous. Also, cable television was still new then, and not many took the fledging medium seriously.

Gallo Center audiences. This is sure to do the same. The play, published in 1995, focuses on seven African-American characters in the year 1948. It begins and ends after the funeral of one of the main characters, showing events leading to the funeral in flashbacks. Seven Guitars represents the 1940s entry in Wilson’s “Pittsburgh Cycle,” a decade-by-decade anthology of African-American life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during the 20th century.

The play was critically acclaimed for its exploration of African-American struggles with identity and selfacceptance, winning a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play.
