I am glad to know that August Wilson Center finally have him as a president. Yes, I was not familiar with August Wilson's work, until I worked on sound design for the Piano Lesson. Through that production, I researched for his bio, the local history and U.S. history. And I was moved by Wilson's sentimental part in the play and his reserved way to look at the world. I enjoyed that piece.

The last summer, I visited the Center when they did open house. The building was beautiful and especially, the theatre is gorgeous. I personally wished if I could have designed sound system here or so... Anyway, I hope the center successfully develops and deliver Wilson's plays to the community to celebrate Pittsburgh's proud writer.
