August Wilson Theatre
August Wilson Theatre
In 1943, the building was leased to WOR-Mutual Radio as a studio. The American National Theater and Academy purchased it in 1950 and renamed it the ANTA Theatre. In 1981, the theatre was purchased by Jujamcyn Theaters and named the Virginia Theatre for owner and Jujamcyn Board member Virginia McKnight Binger. On October 16, 2005, fourteen days after American playwright August Wilson’s death, the theatre was renamed in his honor.
