Cedric the Entertainer shared how he first was introduced to August Wilson's work, stating, "Mine was later in life, the play Fences was one that came into my life at a later time, and then The Piano Lesson. I actually didn't know much about this play at all, so I was really happy when I was offered the opportunity to understand what the play was and get offered the role. I really love this play, man, it's one of my favorites."
Joshua Boone shared what it's like to perform August Wilson's words on stage, "I'm in the show, and I'm still hearing things in new ways every night. One line could have three different meanings. That's how brilliant and masterful his language is."
