THE PIANO TEACHER

Written by Julia Cho
Directed by Kate Whoriskey
With John Boyd, Elizabeth Franz, Carmen M. Herlihy

Mrs. K lives in a twilight world and enjoys recollections of students past. But a tugging dissonance permeates just beyond her memory and the ghosts who haunt this woman stand on the brink of making their way to light.
