In addition to Wilkens's multiple presentations, we will premiere an original play based on his experiences as the only American who stayed in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. I'm Not Leaving was created by Buffalo State Theater students under the direction of professor Joseph Price and will be presented in Warren Enters Theatre on Wednesday, September 14, at 8:00 p.m., followed by a discussion with Wilkens.
