A Noise Within's latest production is the August Wilson classic The Piano Lesson, directed by Gregg T. Daniel. The second Wilson play to grace their stage this year, The Piano Lesson is part of Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle, which traces African American life in the 1930s through a variety of stories and characters. Broadway World calls Nija Okoro’s portrayal of Berniece a highlight, saying she gives her “a quiet ferocity and sensuality.” The show continues through next weekend.
