August Wilson House celebrates America’s greatest playwright with substantial insider interviews, usually streaming on the first and third Monday of each month.

Featured are leading August Wilson actors, directors and artists, national and regional, interviewed by Chris Rawson, veteran Pittsburgh Post-Gazette theater critic who chronicled Wilson’s career and became a friend. The goal is to capture the memories, anecdotes and insights of those who know Wilson’s epic American Century Cycle from the inside.

📷Ron Himes is one of the great Wilsonian veterans, a long-time August Wilson actor, director and teacher. He founded the Black Rep in St. Louis in 1976 and still runs it as Producing Director. In 2008 it became the third national company to complete the American Century Cycle. He has directed all the plays, there and at other companies, and acted in many. How can we talk about all that in 70 minutes? We’ll try!
