We are incredibly heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and one of the most beloved performers in the Philly arts community, Dito van Reigersberg. What an honor to witness your brilliance in so many rooms throughout the years and on the Wilma stage both as Martha and with Poor Judge - to have this Dito masterpiece on our stage twice is something we will cherish always, and it will forever remain one of our personal favorites.

Our hearts go out to all of his loved ones, to Pig Iron, and to all who have been forever inspired by all he has contributed to the Philadelphia arts community.

We love you, Dito ❀️ You will be deeply missed and forever celebrated.

It's the final weekend of The America Play - only 3 more chances to see this rarely produced work by Suzan-Lori Parks!

Today at 2pm is our Book Club featuring Philly-based author Tre Johnson's "Black Genius" - stick around after the show for a Q + A with the author himself (moderated by Co-Artistic Director Morgan Green) and reflect on the play through the lens provided by the book.

"In fact, everyone involved with this production deserves praise as the Wilma team successfully took up the challenge to bring Park’s complex script to the stage. Together, they show us that while the past may never be dead, it remains a debt – a debt to those who forever inhabit it."

The America Play must close this Sunday, May 31 - don't miss this rarely produced work by Pulitzer and Tony Award-winner, Suzan-Lori Parks!

Did you know that Suzan-Lori Parks was the first Black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for drama? She also wrote this play in 1993 and it remains incredibly relevant today (and she was a Playwright in Residence at the Wilma 30+ years ago) ❀️ 🎭️
