August Wilson’s HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED
by August Wilson
Co-Conceived by Todd Kriedler
A Miami Premiere
September 29 – October 22

In this autobiographical tour de force, the late Pulitzer Prize-winner takes audiences on a life-changing voyage from being a young poet in Pittsburgh’s Hill District to his encounters with racism, music, love and transformative friendships. Starring Miami’s own Robert Strain and directed by Carey Brianna Hart, August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned charts one man’s journey of self-discovery and what it means to be a black artist in America.

“Complex and surprisingly funny […] a crowd-pleasing 100 minutes in the company of a wonderful writer.”
– Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

THE THANKSGIVING PLAY
by Larissa FastHorse
A Regional Premiere
November 17 – December 10

Hot off its Broadway run, this shocking satire flips the bird on one of America’s most prolific myths. When a troupe of well-meaning theater artists attempt to put on a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving school pageant, things get messy. Directed by Bari Newport, the Miami premiere of this hilarious, poignant and delicious new play skewers everything right, wrong, and woke in America.

“Very, very funny… this clever satire is something for
which to be truly thankful.”
– Hollywood Reporter

OLD WICKED SONGS
by Jon Marans
A Miami Premiere
January 12 – February 4

In 1986 Vienna, a young Jewish pianist arrives to study; but before he begins his piano instruction, he must first take singing lessons from the harsh, anti-semitic Professor Mashkan. As the play unfolds through the poetry of Heinrich Heine and the music of Robert Schumann, secrets are revealed, and these two men from different generations find they have much more in common than they think. Directed by playwright Jon Marans, this 1996 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize is a play with music that stars two actors who are classically trained pianists. Sponsored by Funding Arts Network

“Marans’ writing explores the human heart with a mixture of simplicity and virtuosity” – The New York Post

THE LEHMAN TRILOGY
by Stefano Massini • Adapted by Ben Power
A Regional Premiere
March 15 – April 14

The story of a family and a company that changed the world. Three actors, including David Kwiat and Mark H. Dold give triumphant performances in this extraordinary feat of story-telling, told in three parts on a single evening and directed by Bari Newport. On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish – Lehman Brothers – spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history.

“A vibrant yarn about greed and American values.
It leaves you dazzled.” – Time Out New York

Winner of the Steinberg and the Edgerton Foundation New Play Awards.

“A new American classic.”
