Hayley Wilson is a PhD candidate in the English department at UTK studying Black drama and performance. Her dissertation project looks at two beloved Harlem Renaissance playwrights, Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes, and their impact on Black drama in the 20s and 30s. Outside of her academic work, Hayley enjoys snuggling with her three cats. Unfortunately, she was not a theater kid in high school and is currently making up for that by getting into local theater as much as she can. Her contribution to Arts Knoxville helps her escape her academic duties and engage with the living world of theater, no textbooks required.
