trey anthony – Playwright

“What I am trying to do is put Black culture on stage and demonstrate to the world—not to White folks not to Black folks, but to the world—that it exists and that it is capable of sustaining you. I want to show the world that there is no idea or concept in the human experience that cannot be examined through Black life and culture.”

August Wilson.
