Meet the Playwright
August Wilson
August Wilson (playwright) was born Frederick August Kittel in Pittsburgh, PA, on April 27, 1945. His mother, Daisy Wilson, was AfricanAmerican and his father was a German immigrant, Frederick Kittel. As a child, Kittel attended St. Richard’s Parochial School. When his parents divorced, he, his mother and his siblings moved from the poor Bedford Avenue area of Pittsburgh to the mostly white neighborhood of Oakland. After facing the relentless bigotry of his classmates at Central Catholic High School, he transferred to Connelly Vocational High School and later to Gladstone High School. When he was 15, Wilson pursued an independent education at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, which later awarded him an honorary high school diploma. Following his father’s death in 1965, a 20-year-old Frederick Kittel adopted the pen name “August Wilson”— reportedly an homage to his mother — and declared himself a poet. In 1968, Wilson,
co-founded the Black Horizon Theater. The following year, Wilson married Brenda Burton. They divorced two years later. August Wilson wrote his first notable play in 1979, Jitney, for which he earned a fellowship at the Minneapolis Playwright Center. In 1981, Wilson married Judy Oliver. The following year, his new play, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, was accepted at the Eugene O’Neill Playwright’s Conference. The next year, Wilson had his introduction to Lloyd Richards, who went on to direct Wilson’s first six Broadway plays. Wilson’s play Fences, for which he won his first Pulitzer Prize as well as a Tony Award, premiered on Broadway in 1987. He took home another Pulitzer Prize in 1990, this time for The Piano Lesson, following its Broadway premiere. A collection of Wilson’s work, entitled Three Plays by August Wilson, was published in 1991. The following year brought the Broadway premiere of Two Trains Running. In 1994, Wilson was married for the third time, to Constanza Romero. Seven Guitars made its way to the Broadway stage two years later. King Hedley II made its Broadway debut in 2001, and Gem of the Ocean premiered in Chicago roughly a year later. In 2003, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom was revived on Broadway. Gem of the Ocean premiered on Broadway in 2004. August Wilson died of liver cancer on October 2, 2005, in Seattle, Wash. His new play, Radio Golf, had opened in Los Angeles, Calf., just a few months earlier.
