George C. Wolfe is most famous as a three-time Tony Award-winning director of plays and movies, including his new film Rustin, a biographical drama about the civil rights leader Bayard Rustin. But the Frankfort native has always been a writer at heart. He is the author of such plays and musicals as Spunk, The Colored Museum, Jelly’s Last Jam and Shuffle Along and was the lyricist for Bring in ’da Noise, Bring in ’da Funk, for which he won a Tony as director.
