"Who Is August Wilson?"

Face to Face students are currently reading August Wilson's play FENCES and are going to do a series of podcast episodes answering some of the main questions the play explores.  For example, what defines a good parent and when do you know you're ready to parent? And, what are the pros and cons of going to college, into the military, or focusing on getting a job after high school?  August Wilson lived in St. Paul from 1978-1990 and wrote this award-winning play while living here.  Although he grew up in Pittsburgh, May 27th was named August Wilson Day in Minnesota because he's the only person living here to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He also was involved with the Science Museum of MN and the Penumbra Theater Company while he lived here.  He was seen as a regular walker through the Selby-Dale neighborhood and his insightful words continue to be enjoyed and studied by many.  He passed away in Seattle in October of 2005.  (Outro music by Dave Boquist)Check out more great episodes at f2fpodcastnetwork.com Check out more great episodes at f2fpodcastnetwork.comAlso, check out the F2F Podcast Network on  YouTube
