THE PIANO TEACHER
by Julia Cho
directed by Kate Whoriskey
March 11 - April 1, 2007
Julianne Argyros Stage

Julia Cho is a talented playwright who has caused critics to cheer, writing with what The New York Times called “insight, sensitivity and humor.” All that and more sparks her new play about a retired piano teacher called Mrs. K, who is haunted by something that happened long ago. Slowly, the children stopped coming for their lessons. Sometimes, she blames that one disastrous recital, other times, their parents. Finally, Mrs. K is compelled to contact her former students. Their mysterious memories are not at all what she expected.
