Suzana Berger, explaining the intent of the August Wilson & Beyond course, says the students “create something they feel honors the stories that they’ve heard and learned in the same way Wilson wrote his plays to honor the stories he was hearing around the neighborhood in the Hill District of Pittsburgh.” Photo: Avi Steinhardt

Herman Beavers and Suzana Berger expanded their Academically Based Community Service (ABCS) course that uses August Wilson’s 20th Century Cycle of plays, allowing them to bring multi-generational West Philadelphia residents into an extended conversation with Penn Students. August Wilson & Beyond ran in the fall of 2018 and culminated in an original performance.
