Welcome to the August Wilson Homepage

Welcome to AugustWilson.net. My name is Dr. Mike Downing and I'm an English Professor at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.

I have been studying Mr. Wilson's life and work since 1992 (when I lived and worked in Pittsburgh). Since then, I have taught, published, and delivered scholarly presentations related to Mr. Wilson.

This website, which I am currently re-designing and updating, is intended to serve as a scholarly resource for anyone interested in the life and works of Pittsburgh-born playwright, Mr. August Wilson.

I accept contributions to this site from legal copyright holders. If you would like to contribute, please contact me through the comments section of the August Wilson blog.

Use the adjacent links to access content. Click on the photo of August Wilson on any page to return to this index page.

I have additional content that I plan to post as time goes by. For now, be sure to visit the August Wilson Blog as that's where I'm devoting most of my activity at this time.

Thanks,

Dr. Downing
