Throwback Thursday: Masterpiece Theater
Thursday, February 19th, 2015
August Wilson (left) with Bill Roland during Wilson’s visit to Syracuse University in 2003.
American Masters on PBS will be airing a program about August Wilson tomorrow. Wilson wrote 10 masterpieces (aka plays) about each decade of a 20th Century Pittsburgh neighborhood called the Hill District. We were fortunate to meet him during his visit to Syracuse, and he was very generous with his time and shared his work process.
Here is a Q+A session about Wilson in NYC that gets to the essence of his genius.
And speaking of throwbacks, special shout out also to Frank Vick for helping us develop an audacious appreciation for theater back in the day.

Tavis Smiley, Author, Radio/TV host (circa 2005) in Washington, DC
If you enjoyed the film “Selma,” which paints an intimate portrait of the coalitions and strategies of the Civil Rights Movement, we suggest you move next to “Death of a King” by Tavis Smiley. His book gives a revealing look at the last year of Dr. King’s life (the good, the bad and the unforeseen).
Smiley is pictured here in Washington, DC in 2005.
