MCC Employee Discounts at Geva Theatre

MCC employee discounts are available at Geva Theater for August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson," onstage through May 11.

The Story: Boy Willie, a Southern sharecropper, wants to sell his family's ancestral piano to buy land. His sister Berniece refuses to let it go. Carved into the piano are the faces of their great-grandfather's wife and daughter who were sold in exchange for the piano during the days of slavery. Their arguments over the piano open the wounds of the past; it haunts them just as surely as the ghost in Berniece’s house. Where is the boundary between remembering where you’ve come from and not being able to let go? How do you build the future without forgetting the past?

The Experience: Set in 1930s Pittsburgh, this richly textured family drama represents the third decade in August Wilson’s 10-play chronicle of African America in the 20th century.

The Buzz: Pulitzer Prize-winner from one of the American theatre’s great storytellers.
