    • Albert Innaurato and "Gemini"
      Jan 23 2026

      The story of Albert Innaurato and his play "Gemini." Set in South Philadelphia in the 1970s, it was to become the biggest commercial and artistic triumph of his career.

      The famous TV commercial for the original Broadway production is on YouTube:

      But Gemini also served as a constant reminder that success can fleeting, and that an artist's personal demons can undermine their long-term reputation.

      We interview Charles Gilbert about his professional association and personal friendship with Innaurato, as they tried to turn Gemini into a work of musical theater in the early 2000s.

      Charles Gilbert's posts on Substack, which form the basis of our conversation, can be found here:

      As a Holiday, treat, the Philadelphia actor Brian Wilson talks with us about his life and career.

      Brian tells us about his memories - everything from his roles on "The Wire," to his work with the director Walter Dallas, to his quest to perform in all the plays of August Wilson (no relation!). And he shares this thoughts about the state of African-American theater in the Quaker City at the beginning of the 21st Century.
