DESCRIPTION:\nWritten in the mid-1980’s, this former Broadway production "The Piano 
 Lesson" is set in the 1930’s, concerning the struggle of two siblings 
 over a precious family heirloom, a piano carved with images of their 
 African ancestors and crafted by their enslaved grandfather. The Great 
 Depression serves as the historical backdrop to the play as well as black 
 migration during this period from the south to north. Through his play 
 Wilson teaches that the history must be shared, accepted, and then valued 
 for the lessons that it teaches before the future can be achieved. Wilson 
 continues this theme through his characters of Berniece and Boy Willie, who 
 represent the struggle for accepting and valuing the past, as represented 
 through struggle over the fate of the family’s most treasured heirloom 
 the piano.\n\nALL PERFORMANCES WILL BEGIN AT 7 PM, DOORS OPEN AT 6:30 
 PM,\n\nEXCEPT 3PM MATINEE ON SUNDAY 2/15\n\nPrices are $14 for Adults and

 enhance the climate of the cultural diversity on the campus and in the 
 community, focusing on the recruitment, recognition, and retention of 
 under-represented students by providing a sense of belonging and by 
 bringing in productions about people of color, encouraging the celebration 
 of American diversity. In the past years, we the UCSC African American 
 Theater Arts Troupe Fund.  have raised and awarded over $75,000 in
