The Acting Company, a touring company that develops acting talent and produces a mix of classical and new plays, is coming to Pittsburgh to teach a workshop for students in collaboration with the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. Two cast members of the company, DeAnna Supplee and Robert Cornelius, spoke in this episode about the workshop. They also spoke about their work in Two Trains Running, a play by Pittsburgh playwright, August Wilson, that is touring across the United States with The Acting Company. DeAnna and Robert talk about how the students will interact with August Wilson's plays through movement, text analysis, and a whole lot of fun. They also both share stories of how they first interacted with an August Wilson play. DeAnna in one class about contemporary plays written by Black writers, and Robert seeing his first play at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. Both describe how Two Trains Running portrays Black communities in the 1960s, and how that sense of community has been replaced by social media today. They hope that the students will have fun, but also take away the power of August Wilson's words. You can find tour dates of The Acting Company's national tour of Two Trains Running and Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors at https://theactingcompany.org/national-tour. They will be in Pittsburgh in two weeks for the workshop, and are looking forward to seeing the August Wilson African American Cultural Center and hopefully the August Wilson House!
