Robert Wagoner was affiliated for a time with Fayetteville State University and before that, he worked for what was then known as “National Education Television.” Early on, he produced “You Owe it To Yourself” and “Operation Bootstrap.” Wagoner later worked for the television show “Black Journal” and WTVD in Durham.

He has been a film and theatre director and actor. One of his productions that generated a good deal of attention was his reworking of West Side Story, setting this musical in an “updated” inner city neighborhood and including crips and bloods as the rival gangs, instead of jets and sharks.
