You know August Wilson’s iconic work. Now know him. Discover how a community created one of America’s most iconic writers in this intimate tour-de-force.
Written and originally performed by playwriting legend August Wilson himself, this autobiographical tour-de-force chronicles Wilson’s days as a struggling young writer. In this intimate one-person play, experience his first jobs; his first loves; a stint in jail; his encounters with racism, violence, and music; and how the people of Pittsburgh’s Hill District inspired his celebrated cycle of plays. Following his rise from a young poet to the literary giant we honor today, this timeless and heartfelt memoir charts one man’s journey of self-discovery and what it means to be a Black artist in America.
How I Learned What I Learned. By August Wilson. Feb. 17–Mar. 10, 2024.
