An Evening with André Holland

Artistic Achievement Award presentation and conversation with Steppenwolf Theatre Company Co-Artistic Director Glenn Davis

A tremendously skilled actor who has brought depth and nuance to roles on stage and screen, André Holland is the recipient of the Festival’s Artistic Achievement Award. The actor will be on hand for a special in-person Tribute to discuss his impressive career and his artistic process.

Holland can currently be seen in Apple’s limited series The Big Cigar, which chronicles the manhunt for Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton. Coming up for the actor is Titus Kaphar’s film Exhibiting Forgiveness, also starring Andra Day and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Previously, he starred in John Ridley’s biographical drama Shirley opposite Regina Hall; Rebecca Hall’s Passing, which premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and played at the Chicago International Film Festival; and he starred in and executive produced Steven Soderbergh’s film High Flying Bird.

Additional credits include Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-winning drama Moonlight and Ava Duvernay’s A Wrinkle in Time and Selma— the latter film earning him an NAACP Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. Holland’s television credits include starring turns in The Knick and in the first season of anthology series Castle Rock.

He made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning 2009 revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, and returned in 2017 in the Tony Award-winning production of Jitney. Most recently, Holland played Othello at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater.
