Two years before his death in 2005, August Wilson wrote and performed an unpublished one-man play entitled "How I Learned What I Learned" about the power of art and the power of possibility. This was produced at New York's Signature Theatre and directed by Todd Kreidler, Wilson's friend and protégé. "How I Learned" explores his days as a struggling young writer in Pittsburgh's Hill District and how the neighborhood and its people inspired his cycle of plays about the African-American experience.
