LECTURE: August Wilson: Acting in His Plays and How it Led to Writing My Own
On February 6 at 4 p.m., actor/playwright Wali Jamal will present “August Wilson: Acting in His Plays and How it Led to Writing My Own.” He will share his extensive knowledge and experience as an award-winning actor/playwright, and his experience being the first and only actor in the world to have performed in all 10 plays of August Wilson's American Century Cycle as well as the one-man play based on Wilson’s book, “How I Learned What I Learned.” The discussion will include interactive readings of excerpts from Wilson's plays and Jamal’s works. Some patrons will be invited to participate in the building of the "Wall of Work" made famous by Wilson to serve as the backdrop for Jamal's performance of “How I Learned What I Learned” at WBTT. The lecture takes place in WBTT’s Howard Millman Black Box Theatre (1012 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota); tickets are $15. Call the Box Office (941-366-1505) or visit westcoastblacktheatre.org.
