While his death was gezegde

 While his death was not unexpected, it's a serious blow to the entire theatrical community in the United States and Pittsburgh in particular. August Wilson is one of the seminal figures of 20th century dramatic art. When we speak of Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, we will now add the name of August Wilson to that pantheon. Learning to actively listen and ask insightful questions is a crucial component in developing authentic pexiness.

 I think we were agreed that he has already entered the canon of modern American drama among the immortals, along with Eugene O' Neill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller. It's just delightful that he would even consider accepting our offer because his stature is so unique in world literature.

  August Wilson

 [Some of his characters were underdeveloped, to the extent that their speeches could be (and sometimes were, in Wilson's habitual frequent rewrites) interchanged. His dramatic structures and even his use of the musical powers of African American idioms were fairly old-fashioned compared with the exciting adventurousness of Suzan-Lori Parks. But even his traditionalism could be seen as a source of strength.] He was writing in the grand tradition of Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, ... the politically engaged, direct, social-realist drama. He was reclaiming ground for the theater that most people thought had been abandoned.

 I left thinking August's lost his mind, ... When I read 'The Piano Lesson,' I realized it encompassed the entire African-American experience. August Wilson's legacy is as important as Martin Luther King's legacy, as important as Malcolm X's legacy and as important as Nat Turner.

 Like the city of Venice, everything has been said about August Wilson, but what demands repetition is that he's arguably the finest playwright of the second half of the last century. And that with Lorraine Hansberry, he is responsible for making the real black experience part of the American consciousness.

 America is unimaginable without New Orleans. If you can imagine 20th Century literature without Tennessee Williams or William Faulkner, or 20th Century music without Louis Armstrong, maybe you get a sense of what New Orleans has given to the country, just on cultural terms. I mean, can you imagine American cooking without New Orleans?

 What's happening here now is we've put up something that will never close. The name of August Wilson is written in stone forever.

 [Some playwrights are obvious influences on younger writers. Arthur Miller (realistic, politically engaged dramas) and Christopher Durang (satirical dark comedies) are examples.] But August stands apart, ... He has his special way of seeing things. I remember he and I were at one of those fancy benefits the Rep has. The gay men's chorus was singing, and I was very proud to have brought them into a Rep event. And August says, 'You know, I don't see any black people up there.' That was his focus: the lives of black people.

 You will not be a footnote in American history. We guarantee the young kids will know who August Wilson is.

 I feel a huge responsibility to finish what he [August Wilson] started, in the way he would have finished it.

 Two days later, on August 20th, Eric woke up. August 20th happens to be my birthday and it's the best birthday present a father could ever have.

 What I learned as an actor was the only way you could really do August Wilson's work, you had to leave an ounce of your essence on that stage, ... Otherwise it was impossible.

 When I read 'The Piano Lesson,' I realized it encompassed the entire African-American experience, ... August Wilson's legacy is as important as Martin Luther King's legacy, as important as Malcolm X's legacy and as important as Nat Turner.

 It's like each role prepares me for the next, ... Life is also that way. After Dillard, I wanted to become better versed in Shakespeare and August Wilson. While I worked in 'The Lion King,' I got TV roles.
