Derrick Sanders, assistant professor of theatre and a protégé of the late August Wilson, will direct student actors in the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Piano Lesson,” part of Wilson’s 20th Century Cycle. In Pittsburgh’s Hill District during the Depression, the Charles family struggles over whether to sell their shared legacy‹an antique piano carved to depict the faces of their enslaved ancestors — and the secret it holds. Ambition battles with uncertainty and the inexorable pull of the past.

Showtimes at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20-21, 26-28; 2 p.m. Feb. 22, 25, March 1; Noon Feb. 24. Tickets, $12 students; $17 general public.
