Book Wali Jamal and get Acting, Writing, or August Wilson Workshop

Wali Jamal can travel to your venue to perform August Wilson's one man play How I Learned What I Learned. This is the least expensive August Wilson Play for any Producer. You obtain the licensing for the show from Concord Theatrical,  like normal. But here's the great news. There's only one actor to pay...Wali Jamal. No director to pay. Been doing the show for years so we only need one week to set up, tech, and rehearse and perform up to five shows. (Shows have been set up teched and performed in shorter time frames.) No set designer, I design and build my own set.  My tech is pre-packaged on a QLab file, which makes tech a breeze.

Acting & August

August Wilson's plays were a godsend to many Black Actors who were continually relegated to menial characters in American Theater. August Wilson's plays have provided a veritable myriad of vibrant, passionate and very memorable characters. Wali Jamal has the singular distinction of being the first and only actor to have performed in ALL TEN PLAYS in the American Century Cycle of August Wilson. As a Teaching Artist, Wali Jamal has regaled multitudes of workshop attendees with anecdotes from performances and moments spent with August himself.

Wilsonian Warrior

August Wilson's plays and poems have made an incredible impact on my career and my life and I don't mind sharing with the world. I've performed in a plethora of critically acclaimed works of art but it's the plays of August Wilson that affected me the most. It's the DIGNITY he gives his characters.
