With former Karamu artistic director Terrence Spivey now taking the reins of its performing arts programs, it’s a good idea to keep a constant eye on what’s going on at the Shore Cultural Center.
This week, they’re presenting a fundraiser for the Shore Center performance programs, a one-night-only performance of August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned, featuring successful local actor Peter Lawson Jones, whom Spivey lured back into the theater back when he was still a county commissioner.
The one-act, one-man piece, presented in readers’ theater style, covers the playwrights’ life in his native Pittsburgh and how he was shaped into the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of the often-performed ten plays that comprise the “Century Cycle” about black life in Pittsburgh during the 20th century.
The production was co-conceived by Todd Kreidler and directed by Spivey. There’ll be a talkback with Spivey and Jones after the performance. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors over 62 and youth 17 and under.
