SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company Presents How I Learned What I Learned
DESCRIPTION:By August Wilson  \nDirected by Jade King Carroll   \nBratton Theater  \nAugust Wilson’s celebrated classic solo piece is an autobiographical tour de force that follows Wilson’s journey through the streets of Pittsburgh’s Hill District — through artistic awakenings\, odd jobs and heartbreaks — capturing the moments that forged his identity. From the hustle of his early days to the love affair that almost got him killed\, Wilson weaves his youth into a series of deliciously compelling stories. With his trademark wit\, lyricism\, and truth-telling\, he invites audiences into the dynamic world that shaped both the man and the master storyteller he became.
