About

Broadway In Chicago is excited to join Congo Square Theatre Company in announcing its continued 25th Anniversary celebration with the Chicago premiere of HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED, August Wilson's autobiographical show. Directed by Ken-Matt Martin and featuring Chicago's own Harry Lennix, this limited engagement will run from April 20 - May 5, 2024 at Broadway In Chicago's Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut St).

HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED follows Wilson's journey as a young Black writer from Pittsburgh to one of the most celebrated American playwrights of the 20th century. Written three years before his death, the one-man show recounts numerous stories from the author's long career and the lessons they taught about what it means to be a Black artist in America.

    A great peek into the mind of a genius

    by TJ on 4/23/24Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I really enjoyed getting some insight into the factors that shaped August Wilson and getting a peek into his inner life. I've seen all of the plays in his century cycle but felt sad that there wouldn't be anything else from him so when this came out I was elated. I wish the sound quality had been better but otherwise it was a great show. Harry Lennix did a great job.

    Well done

    by steve on 4/23/24Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I have been a big fan of Wilson's work since I saw "Fences"during its original B'way run. I think he is the greatest playwright of the last 50 years. I've read a fair amount about him and it seems he was a bitter and unhappy man, which is sad. This certainly comes across in this piece. I'm glad to have seen it. But I think his legacy of the 10 plays is what is most important. Thanks for doing this. I always wanted to see it. Steve Palmer
