August Wilson Celebration Panel at Center for the Arts, Towson University

A free panel discussion honoring the artistry and cultural impact of playwright August Wilson, whose American Century Cycle chronicled the Black experience across ten decades of American history. The panel features Khalid Long of the August Wilson Society, Lesley Malin of Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, Paige Hernandez of Everyman Theatre, and David Mitchell of the Maryland State Arts Council, moderated by Towson University professor Danielle Drakes. Selections from Wilson's plays will be performed by Towson University students who are members of the Black Theatre Alliance. The event is presented in collaboration with the Baltimore August Wilson Celebration, a citywide multi-theater initiative performing the entire American Century Cycle in chronological order over three years.
