" Complex and surprisingly funny [...] a crowd-pleasing 100 minutes in the company of a wonderful writer. "

— Pittsburg Post-Gazette

In this autobiographical tour de force, the late Pulitzer Prize-winner takes audiences on a life-changing voyage from being a young poet in Pittsburgh’s Hill District to his encounters with racism, music, love and transformative friendships. Starring Miami’s own Melvin Huffnagle and directed by Carey Brianna Hart, August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned charts one man’s journey of self-discovery and what it means to be a black artist in America.
