“It’s taken me a while to come back,” says Baron Kelly, Vilas Distinguished Professor of Theatre and Drama at UW-Madison.
Appointed in 2022, Kelly has come home to the department where he earned his doctorate two decades ago. And his first directing project in this new post, which is also part of his ongoing research, is a production of August Wilson’s highly acclaimed play Fences, examining the Black experience in 1950s America. The play will run March . . .
