SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company Presents How I Learned What I Learned (Live Audio Descriptions & Pick-Your-Price)
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.

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.

Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down? “As the visiting neighbors\, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton couldn’t be better.” -Mick LaSalle\, San Francisco Chronicle Director Olivia Wilde’s film is “a modern Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf\, with kink. A movie for grown-ups\, smart and sophisticated\, of a type not made much anymore. So refreshing\, and so deliciously funny.” -Nikki Gemmell\, The Australian  (R\, 107m)
