August Wilson Society (AWS) Announces 2023 Biennial Colloquium: March 2-4, 2023

By admin on January 23, 2023 Arts & Culture

PITTSBURGH, PA – The August Wilson Society (AWS), in collaboration with the August Wilson African American Cultural Center (AWAACC) and the University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS), is pleased to announce its Biennial Colloquium: Excavating New Critical Landscapes for August Wilson Studies, March 2-4, 2023, to mark the grand opening of the August Wilson Archive at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

The August Wilson Archive arrived at the ULS in 450 boxes containing materials documenting a wide array of Wilson’s career and interests from the 1960s to 2010. There are scripts, production materials of his American Century Cycle plays, his personal library and music collection, artwork, poetry, unpublished work including non-Cycle plays, speeches, essays, audio recordings, awards, degrees, books, correspondence, newspapers, magazines, notebooks, writing tablets, photographs, posters, production designs, props, scripts, and video recordings. The collection will officially open for research on January 9, 2023. 

The keynote speaker for the Colloquium is Tony-award winning actor, Emmy and Golden Globe nominated writer, and acclaimed director, Ruben Santiago-Hudson. He most recently penned the screenplay of August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom for Netflix, which starred Viola Davis, and the late Chadwick A. Boseman, produced by Denzel Washington and directed by George C. Wolfe. At The Green Space in New York City, he served as Artistic Director of dramatic readings of all 10 of August Wilson’s American Century Cycle plays that aired on WNYC and NPR. Santiago-Hudson has also directed Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Jitney and The Piano Lesson, and has performed in Fences and Seven Guitars. He currently stars in the hit CBS drama East New York alongside Jimmy Smits and Amanda Warren. 

In addition, the Colloquium will feature Wali Jamal, Pittsburgh-based author, actor, playwright and the first and only actor to have performed in all 10 of Wilson’s produced plays. Jamal will perform August Wilson’s heavily autobiographical solo performance, How I Learned What I Learned, created by August Wilson in collaboration with and Todd Kreidler. The show chronicles Wilson’s life as a Black artist in the Hill District in Pittsburgh, from his childhood to the completion of The American Century Cycle of award-winning plays. 

Other Colloquium highlights include: 

  • The Encounters in the August Wilson Archives panel. This panel brings together scholars, artists, educators, and students to reflect on the personal, intellectual, and artistic import of the August Wilson Archive. Panelists will respond to materials they encounter in the collection and illuminate the ways they help deepen our understanding of Wilson’s life and work and its relation to the larger socio-historical record. 
  • Guided tours of August Wilson: The Writers Landscape permanent exhibit and the August Wilson House in the Hill District 
  • Fundraising reception at the Rivers Club, Pittsburgh’s premiere city club 
  • On-site local vendor’s marketplace 
  • Salute to Wilsonian Warrior Ancestors Ceremony (in honor of those who have transitioned but played a significant role in shaping August Wilson’s craft and career) 

This year, the 2023 Biennial Colloquium will be live in-person and live-streamed by KDKA-TV Pittsburgh.
