About

Welcome to the August Wilson Blog!

My name is Dr. Mike Downing and I’m an English Professor at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.  I have been studying the life and work of Mr. Wilson since 1992.  At that time, I lived and worked in Pittsburgh and had the great pleasure of watching his work unfold on the stage of the Pittsburgh Public Theatre  throughout the 1990s.

Since then, I have taught, published, and delivered scholarly presentations related to Mr. Wilson.   I also maintain a website dedicated to the study of his works.

The August Wilson Blog is intended to serve as a discussion forum for anyone interested in the life and works of Pittsburgh-born playwright, Mr. August Wilson.

If you would like to contribute a something to the website, please let me know through the blog’s comment section.

Thank you for visiting the August Wilson Blog!
