  • Kennesaw State University Welcomes Tony Award-Winner Kenny Leon Broadway, Film and Television Director to Teach Master Classes in Acting
    NEWS Kennesaw State University welcomes Tony Award-winner Kenny Leon Broadway, film and television director to teach master classes in acting KENNESAW, Ga. (Aug. 2, 2017) –– Tony Award-winning Broadway, film and television director Kenny Leon will teach two master classes to students in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at Kennesaw State University, and will share his extensive professional experience with up-and-coming actors, designers, directors, writers and technicians. “Kenny approached us about how he could work with our students in meaningful and impactful ways,” said Patty Poulter, dean of the College of the Arts. “He is incredibly enthusiastic and eager to work with our students, and it is very exciting to have him at Kennesaw State University.” A sought-after motivational speaker, Leon has conducted acting and theater workshops at universities and corporations in this country and abroad. “I want to bridge that gap between the academic world and the professional world. There should be a healthy synergy between the academic world and the professional/artistic world. So, I am all for that,” said Leon. “When I have a master class with students who are serious about being in this business, it’s better to give than receive. I am rewarded by giving,” Leon said. “I have a chance to do that with some students who call Atlanta home and students who are making a commitment to the profession. You make the profession better by sharing with young folks what you know to be true. So, I am hoping that it can mean something to them.” Leon won a Tony for directing the 2014 revival of “A Raisin in the Sun” on Broadway, starring Denzel Washington.

And then I went to breakfast with my daughter and told her about the nomination and she started screaming. This is a special show. It is not like any other show that has been on Broadway from what I know and different from any show I have been a part of in the past. I was hopeful people would "get it" and I think they did. We're a hard working cast and it's amazing to me that we can do as many shows as we do each week. Everyone pulls their weight and I expected us be noticed for the excellence. The highlight of this show for me is being in a cast people who are so dedicated. The music is great to listen to every night and we have a crew that is great to us. It's nice to be back on Broadway." Lillias White, nominee for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Fela! "My wife called me this morning with the news.

    I believe that August Wilson is the greatest playwright of our generation because he writes the truth, because he gives voices to those folks that have no voice, because he has an artistry to the honesty and I am humbled to have ever been in his company. August shared insights about life; his wisdom almost flows from life directly to the plays. August Wilson wrote 10 plays about every decade that African Americans have been in America. And his plays are not just for African-Americans. He wrote specifically about that culture, but with that specificity comes an understanding about the universal man, about all of our families, all of our loves. With his words on the page, August humanized our history. He honored our mothers and our grandmothers and our great grandmothers by putting their rituals, their songs, their myths on stage so that we could hear them. I believe that August’s work is worthy of the Nobel Prize just in terms of his personal sacrifice. For 23 years he wrote and produced plays to talk about our history and our connection to each other. That’s a long and great sacrifice for any man. But you know, he walked the walk and he talked the talk, and he dealt with truth as he knew it. And because of this, all of America heard August’s voice. His work is much more than a play. His work is life. And August’s life was about change and impact and there is none greater. There is not a tree that stands taller than August Wilson.
