Chicago actor Harry Lennix stars in August Wilson's one-man show 'How I Learned What I Learned'

CHICAGO -- Broadway in Chicago is joining the Congo Square Theater to present a highly-anticipated play. August Wilson's autobiographical work 'How I Learned What I Learned' celebrates one of America's greatest playwrights.A collaboration between Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place and Congo Square Theater, the one-man play offers audiences a rare glimpse into the life and mind of Wilson.

Written three years before Wilson's death, 'How I Learned What I Learned' tells several stories from the playwright's storied career, and the lessons they taught him as a Black artist in America.'I like to equate it to seeing a Shakespeare play about being William Shakespeare, and how he came to be that. I guess 'Shakespeare in Love' is kind of close to that, but he didn't write that.
