Opens
The August Wilson Red
Door Project is bringing back
its flagship student program,
the August Wilson Mono-
logue Competition, a free na-
tional competition celebrating
the work of Wilson, an Afri-
can-American playwright, and
culminating in an all-expens-
es-paid trip for two local final-
ists to perform on Broadway.
The competition actively
looks for high school students
of color, grades 10-12, but stu-
dents of all ethnicities are en-
couraged to apply prior to the
Nov. 30 deadline at reddoor-
project.org.
Applying for the comple-
tion is the first step of a six-
month journey that will push
students to discover their own
talents and gifts and hold them
accountable for their own suc-
cess. The August Wilson Red
Door Project team will be there
to support the students at every
stop of the process, from se-
lecting a monologue from Wil-
son’s catalogue, working on
memorization, script analysis
and character building.
As a playwright, August Wil-
son gave voice and value to
populations who were previous-
ly absent from American stages.
His work directly connects the
themes of gentrification, incar-
ceration and social justice that
are so alive in our current times.
