Wilson Fest On Tap In D.C.

Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center plans to mount a “boldly comprehensive showcase” of August Wilson’s plays exploring the African-American experience in the spring of 2008. “The month-long event… will present each of the 10 plays as a staged reading in the center’s Terrace Theater, under the artistic leadership of Kenny Leon, the Atlanta-based director who staged the premiere of the last Wilson play that the dramatist was to see on Broadway.”
