The Piano Lesson
By August Wilson

September 25 to October 21, 2007

Set during the Great Depression, this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama depicts a family’s struggle with the legacy of an elaborately carved piano passed down to them by their great-grandfather. Boy Willie wants to own the farm where his family once worked as slaves. However, to purchase the land he’ll have to sell the family's piano, a prized heirloom with which his sister Berniece refuses to part. Vividly capturing the struggle to define African American identity, August Wilson’s award-winning drama is also a story of heartache and redemption that embraces every family’s longing for the American Dream.
