"I'm thrilled to reunite with Nambi and direct her new play - it's a beautiful rendering of an uncommon story," comments director Ilesa Duncan. "Instilled with Jaret's moving music, it promises to be a memorable beginning to our 2015-16 season."
Nambi E. Kelley's new play is the story of one woman's journey to unravel a history that she's never been told. Through music, memory and magic, FOR HER AS A PIANO traces the lives of three generations of women, and how they are interconnected across time and space.
The production team for FOR HER AS A PIANO INCLUDES: Lauren Nigri (scenic designer), Brittany Bodley (costume designer), Jared Gooding (lighting designer), Aaron Quick (sound designer) and Mealah Heidenreich (props designer).
