The Piano Lesson Tickets

The Piano Lesson by August Wilson tells the story of the Charles family. Left with an heirloom, the family piano, they are forced to confront the figurative and literal ghosts of their past.

A haunting evocation of the African-American ethos enriches this play that centers on a battle over a family heirloom. The arguments between a brother and a sister with completely opposite ideas wrap the play in drama and emotion that will captivate you throughout. Starring Academy Award® winner Samuel L. Jackson, Screen Actors Guild Award® nominee John David Washington, and Tony® and Emmy® nominee Danielle Brooks, The Piano Lesson is a masterpiece brought to the Broadway stage.
