Jujamcyn Theaters (Jordan Roth, President) and True Colors Theatre Company (Kenny Leon, Co-Founding Artistic Director) have announced the 5^th Annual August Wilson Monologue Competition will take place on Mon May 5 at 7:00 PM at the August Wilson (245 West 52nd St).  The event, which is free and open to the public, features high school students from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh and Seattle performing monologues by the late, legendary American playwright. A panel of celebrity judges will evaluate the competitors and select a winner.  The evening will also include performances by well-known Wilsonian veterans and special musical guests.  The complete list of performers will be announced shortly.  This year's competition will afford students from these cities around the country the opportunity to attend a Broadway show, work closely with two of Wilson’s closest collaborators: director Kenny Leon and dramaturg Todd Kreidler, and explore popular Manhattan attractions before making their Broadway stage debuts. The two finalists from each regional city will compete, and the top contestants will be chosen to perform on the August Wilson Stage on Monday evening, May 5th. The top three contestants from the national competition receive monetary awards. The first place winner will receive a $1000 cash prize, the runner-up a $500 cash prize and the honorable mention a $250 cash prize. Each of the winners will also become eligible for college scholarship opportunities and all finalists receive the gift of TCG’s Century Cycle collection.
