Raleigh Little Theatre Presents Award Winning Drama The Piano Lesson

The Piano Lesson, directed by Haskell Fitz-Simmons, will be presented at the Sutton Main Stage Theatre on October 8th through the 24th.

2010-10-03

RALEIGH, NC, October 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) Raleigh Little Theatre is pleased to present the upcoming production of The Piano Lesson October 8-24 at the Sutton Main Stage Theatre directed by Haskell Fitz-Simons. This drama is part of August Wilson's "Century Cycle" about African-American life in the 20th century and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1990.

Set in 1936 in Pittsburg, The Piano Lesson tells the story of a brother and sister who fight to claim "the piano," a family heirloom carved with the images of their enslaved ancestors, a significant part of their family history. Their story creates a remarkable drama about more than a piano: it is a ghost story demanding an exorcism of the past, a tale of murder without villains, and a lesson about social change in a time of cultural and economic upheaval reminiscent of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.

Tickets for The Piano Lesson are $20 for adults and $16 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.raleighlittletheatre.org or from the RLT Box Office at 919-821-3111.

Show Times:
October 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8 p.m.
October 10, 17, 24 at 3 p.m.
