Adventures in Theater History: Philadelphia

Brian Anthony Wilson

December 21, 2025 • Peter Schmitz • Season 4 • Episode 114

As a Holiday, treat, the Philadelphia actor Brian Wilson talks with us about his life and career.

Brian tells us about his memories - everything from his roles on "The Wire," to his work with the director Walter Dallas, to his quest to perform in all the plays of August Wilson (no relation!). And he shares this thoughts about the state of African-American theater in the Quaker City at the beginning of the 21st Century.
