Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe presents a limited run of How I Learned What I Learned, featuring award-winning actor and playwright Wali Jamal. This one-man show is based on August Wilson’s 2003 book and delves into the defining moments of Wilson's life. Jamal, the only actor to have performed in all ten plays of Wilson’s American Century Cycle, brings his unique insights to this semi-autobiographical work. Performances are scheduled from February 9 to February 16, 2025.
