National August Wilson Monologue Competition

Founded in 2007, the Annual August Wilson Monologue Competition aims to expose a new generation of creative minds to the life’s work and artistic legacy of this seminal American playwright. Program participants in cities across the country encounter Wilson’s ten play cycle and receive coaching from teaching artists as they prepare their monologues for local, city-wide and national competitions. Co-sponsored by True Colors Theatre Company and Jujamcyn Theaters, this year’s National August Wilson Monologue Competition, the fifth of its kind to take place on the stage of Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, will afford eighteen students from these cities around the country the opportunity to attend a Broadway show, work closely with Wilson’s collaborator, director Kenny Leon, and explore popular Manhattan attractions before making their Broadway debuts.
