August Wilson's The Piano Lesson

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

By August Wilson
Directed by Rovin Jay

Can you transcend the past? In August Wilson’s masterpiece, THE PIANO LESSON, the past is a ghost that haunts a Black family’s dreams of a better life. It’s the Great Depression, and Boy Willie has come north to Pittsburgh to see his sister, Bernice, with an opportunity to buy some land down home in Mississippi. He wants her to sell the family’s antique piano.  But it is more than just a musical instrument; it’s a testament to the family’s rise from slavery, carved with the images of their ancestors. As the siblings contend with each other, can they escape the lives of their forefathers and put to rest the ghosts that still haunt them?
