Every year, thousands of students from twelve cities perform a monologue of Wilson’s in competition for a chance to perform at the August Wilson Theater on Broadway. Through following this competition, Giving Voice examines how Wilson, a singular talent and artist, provides a lens for a new generation to understand the world they live in and inspires them to find their own voice to survive and persevere in their increasingly complicated world.
