The rise and fall of the August Wilson Center; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 2/8/14

Elizabeth Bloom, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; The rise and fall of the August Wilson Center:

"The August Wilson Center for African American Culture had so much promise.

The organization dreamed big, staged provocative programs and sold out shows. It also alienated allies, changed its vision and failed to raise the funds necessary to even heat the building.

The center's downward slide culminated in January with a court order to liquidate its dwindling assets. It was not yet five years old.

How the August Wilson Center came to this point is a hard lesson in poor management meeting bad luck."
