Aunt Ester Cycle

November 10 -22, the August Wilson Center celebrates August Wilson through the exploration of his legendary character, Aunt Ester, with passion, commitment, style and sacrifice. Present in four of the 10 plays in Mr. Wilson’s Century Cycle, Aunt Ester was the “washer of souls,” and carries the history and cultural memory of the African American experience. For 10 days, the August Wilson Center stage will be graced with established veterans, emerging brilliance and grand community women new to performance. The stage will be enriched with oral history, our history.
