THE PIANO LESSON In August Wilson’s Pulitzer-winning drama, two siblings are locked in a fierce contest of wills over what to do with the family’s antique piano, on which an ancestor had carved the faces of family members. Boy Willie (Omar Robinson) wants to use the money to purchase the land where their ancestors were enslaved. But Berniece (Jade Guerra), who sees the piano as a deeply meaningful part of the family’s history, wants to keep it. Directed by Christoper V. Edwards. Jan. 23-Feb. 13.
