True Colors Theatre Company Stages August Wilson's How I Learned What I Learned
Oct 7, 2014

True Colors Theatre Company has announced the Atlanta Premiere of August Wilson's final work, his auto-biographical one-man show, How I Learned What I Learned starring Eugene Lee. Co-conceived and directed by Wilson's longtime collaborator, Todd Kreidler, How I Learned What I Learned will run from today, October 7 - November 2, 2014 at Fulton County's Southwest Arts Center located at 915 New Hope Road, Atlanta, GA 30331.

The auto-biographical reenactment of Wilson's life will be told in a one man show starring Eugene Lee (The Women of Brewster Place). How I Learned What I Learned, originally performed by the playwright himself at Seattle Rep in 2003, is Wilson's life through a monologue that shares a glimpse into where the characters in Wilson's critically acclaimed Century Cycle came from, as his stories wander down the streets of Pittsburgh's Hill District, the setting for nine of the ten plays in the cycle. The life and upbringing of the two time Pulitzer Prize winner is exposed though his antidotal stories and we see how his neighborhood and the politics, history, and personalities infused throughout this neighborhood influenced his world view long before the pen met the paper . Part history, part art, and all storytelling, this one man show is not to be missed.
