The Piano Lesson, now playing at IRT, is a MUST SEE!!! Not only because I am quite fond of the talent displayed by a particular young lady that I am very proud of (Yanna), but because the youth are really putting on something spectacular. Even the amateurs are bringing it!!! You can make it a family affair and I promise it's one that you will all love!

"Pittsburgh, 1936. Berniece will not let go of her great-grandfather's piano. Covered with incredible carvings, it recounts her family's rise from slavery. Her brother, Boy Willie, wants to sell the piano to buy land. Respect for their ancestors collides with desire for a new life as sister and brother struggle with the unknowable balance between holding on to the past and letting go for the right reasons."
