August Wilson's THE PIANO LESSON at Theatre Morgan

THE PIANO LESSON, by August Wilson, is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. This modern American classic is about family and its legacy resulting from slavery in America. It is 1936, post Great Depression, and Boy Willie arrives in Pittsburgh from the South in a battered truck loaded with watermelons to sell. He has an opportunity to buy some land down home, but he has to come up with the money in a hurry. Will his sister Berniece allow him to sell the ornately carved piano, a symbol and reminder of the history that is their family legacy? This dilemma is the real "piano lesson," reminding us that Blacks are often deprived both, of the symbols of their past and of opportunity in the present.Friday, Feb 21 & 28, 2020 @ 7:30pm Saturday, Feb 22 & 29, 2020 @ 2:00pm & 7:30pmSunday, Feb 23, 2020 @7:00pmThursday, Feb 27, 2020 @ 10:30am (Matinee)TICKETS In-person :The Murphy Fine Arts Center Box Office 2201Argonne Drive, Balto.
