The Piano Lesson is set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1936. A brother and sister are locked in a war over the fate of a family heirloom: a piano carved with the faces of their ancestors. Only by revisiting history can the siblings endeavor to move forward. The Piano Lesson, wrote Frank Rich in The New York Times, “has its own spacious poetry, its own sharp angle on a nation's history, its own metaphorical idea of drama and its own palpable ghosts that roar right through the upstairs window of the household where the action unfolds. Like other Wilson plays, The Piano Lesson seems to sing even when it is talking.”

On September 11, 2001, journalist Tom Flynn set off on his bike toward the World Trade Towers not knowing what he was riding into. Bikeman is one man's journey back to the horrors of that day and to the humanity that somehow emerged from the dust and the death. Both heartbreaking and haunting, his words will stay with you like that “forever September morning” (Meredith Vieira, NBC's “Today”).

The Dramatists Guild presents: Sondheim: The Man, The Mentor, and His Music
October 17 at 12pm EDT

In this panel of Broadway songwriters, moderated by lyricist and DG President Amanda Green (Mr. Saturday Night), composers Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years) and Tom Kitt (Almost Famous) will discuss the craft behind the legendary writer's music, as well as how Sondheim mentored a generation of theatrical composers. This panel is being presented in celebration of The Dramatist magazine's Sondheim issue, which honors the legacy, advocacy, and impact of Stephen Sondheim.
How to Register:
Priority registration for this event will be offered to high school, college, and graduate students who are currently studying playwriting, musical theatre writing, and/or musical composition. Eligible students can reserve their spot by filling out the following form: https://zfrmz.com/

FEATURING A SPECIAL FILM SCREENING OF NJ PBS HERE’S THE STORY: MUCH ADO
Two River Theater invites the public to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the youth education program A Little Shakespeare with a special film screening of NJ PBS’s Here’s The Story: Much Ado, starring the cast and creative team from Two River’s 2022 production of A Little Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 7:00pm. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A onstage with special guests and a fun and lively post-show reception after-party in Two River Theater’s lobby.
NJ PBS’s Here's the Story is produced by visual storyteller Steve Rogers and his crew, who seek out extraordinary tales of extraordinary people often in the most unlikely of places, in New Jersey. In this 30-minute episode, dedicated to A Little Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing, they follow the cast and crew of the show from beginning to end, spotlighting local New Jersey students navigating auditions, rehearsals and opening night. You’ll hear from the students in one-on-one interviews about their excitement, what they learned, and making life-long friends along the way.
The celebration continues after the screening with a Q&A and after-party to celebrate ten years of A Little Shakespeare, all to benefit Two River’s Education programs and support the official return of student matinee performances during our 2022/23 season.
