Remembering Jonathan Wilson 1949-2024

"The most epic human is now an ancestor. He taught me and so many actors. He was special not just because he was a talented director and tough ass professor. But because he held space for the black theatre students at Loyola to learn, grow, and thrive. I learned August Wilson from this man. I wouldn’t be the actor I am today without this man. There just aren’t enough words to describe what he means to me and so many others.” - Angela Alise, Chicago actor

DeRon Williams, PhD, is directing the show at Loyola this spring." - Vivian Ewing
