August Wilson Theatre

The August Wilson Theatre, originally opened in 1925 as the Guild Theatre, is a distinguished Broadway venue known for its rich history and architectural charm. Designed by architects C. Howard Crane and Kenneth Franzheim, the theatre's facade is inspired by a 15th-century Tuscan villa, featuring stucco surfaces and distinctive loggias. Over the years, it has undergone several name changes: it became the ANTA Theatre in 1950 and was later renamed the Virginia Theatre in 1981. In 2005, it was renamed in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson, becoming the first Broadway theatre to bear the name of an African-American. The venue has hosted numerous acclaimed productions, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of New York City's vibrant theatre scene.
