August Wilson Monologue Competition

Atlanta youths compete nationally for scholarships.

– This weekend marks the National Finals in the third annual August Wilson Monologue Competition, a scholarship-awarding, tri-city undertaking begun by True Colors Theatre Company's Kenny Leon and Todd Kreidler. WABE's Lois Reitzes recently sat down with Leon and one of the finalists from Atlanta, a young man named Galen Williams, to talk about the competition and how bringing August Wilson to high schoolers serves to glorify both parties.
