How I Learned What I Learned
Actor/playwright Wali Jamal will star in seven performances of the one-man show, “How I Learned What I Learned,” based on August Wilson’s 2003 book; the show premiered off-Broadway at the Signature Theatre in November of 2013. “How I Learned What I Learned,” which provides an in-depth look at the significant events that shaped Wilson’s life, is considered essential viewing for fans of the playwright. A prolific actor, Jamal has performed in shows including “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Little Foxes,” “Our Town,” “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Death of a Salesman,” “Once On This Island,” “The Civil War,” “The Full Monty,” “Kinky Boots,” and other plays. He has also been a featured extra in movies starring Bruce Willis, Andy Garcia, Danny Aiello, and Michael Keaton. Through it all, he is proudest of acting in all 10 of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson’s plays and Wilson’s staged autobiography, “How I Learned What I Learned.” Showtimes are February 9 and 11-14 at 3 p.m. and February 10 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. in WBTT's Howard Millman Black Box Theatre (1012 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota). Tickets are $37; the production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and older as it contains adult language and staged violence.
