For the past three years, Support Black Theatre has proudly served as the Los Angeles home for the national August Wilson New Voices (AWNV). We are excited to announce the next evolution of this beloved program: Legacy Rising, a Los Angeles–based monologue competition celebrating the legacy of classical Black playwrights for high school students across Los Angeles County. The inaugural 2026 season will honor the works of Lorraine Hansberry, Philip Hayes Dean, Alice Childress, and August Wilson.
This month we kick off our Legacy Rising Monologue Competition in-school residencies! First stop…View Park Prep High School!
