Winner of the 2004 Kesselring Prize for Playwriting
"Slick, smart and engrossing." --Charles Isherwood, Variety
Rookie journalist Yvonne arrives at her first big job determined to prove herself as a serious investigative reporter, only to be segregated with the other Black reporters at Vanguard, a section of the paper focusing on human interest pieces in the Black community. When an incendiary lead comes to light, she pursues it with the hope of uncovering the truth of a murder--even if it defies her editor's orders.
Inspired by real events, The Story explores the elusive nature of truth as the boundaries between reality and fiction, morality, and ambition become dangerously blurred.
Tracey Scott Wilson's other plays include Exhibit #9, Leader of the People, Order My Steps, Neon Mirage, The Good Negro, and Buzzer.

Arnold Weissmuller Award, a Joyce Award, and a writer-in-residency at the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. As a television writer, Wilson was a recipient of the Peabody Award, and was nominated for both a Writers Guild of America Award and an Emmy.
