Aldo Billingslea

Aldo Billingslea, the Father William J.Rewak Professor of Theatre Arts, is in his 24th year at Santa Clara and will be a member of the cast. His personal relationship with August Wilson and TheatreWorks’ Artistic Director Tim Bond began in the early 90’s when he was an actor at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. His relationship with Wilson technically began when Dr. Barbara Means Fraser, Aldo’s undergraduate Theatre professor, recommended a monologue from Fences for Aldo’s graduate school audition.
