August Wilson's 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' prepping exteriors on Pittsburgh's North Side

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: August Wilson’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” reportedly is scheduled to begin shooting a screen adaptation for Netflix next week. The play, part of the Pittsburgh playwright’s American Century Cycle works that take place in each decade of the 20th century, exists entirely within a recording studio in 1927 Chicago. Might the film take it out into a bigger world, as the Oscar-nominated, filmed-in-Pittsburgh “Fences” stretched into street views?
