John Douglas Thompson

 

Legendary actor, John Douglas Thompson, returns to Colorado for a special Prologue on the occasion of our production of August Wilson’s King Hedley II.  Internationally regarded as one of the finest Shakespearian actors of his generation, John is also an expert on the plays of August Wilson, having received a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of Becker in Jitney.  Local audiences will remember his virtuosic performance as Louis Armstrong in Satchmo at the Waldorf  that performed at Theatreworks in 2016.  We are thrilled to welcome him back to talk about the works of August Wilson, from an actor’s perspective. 

 

Please note that due to busy schedules, John is able to join us on the 23rd, the weekend before the opening of King Hedley.
 
This event is free and open to the public. For more information contact Kevin Landis at klandis@uccs.edu.
