Event Description
Written by local playwright Dorothy Dittrich, The Piano Teacher was originally a 2017 Arts Club Theatre Silver Commission and opened to critical acclaim. Vancouver Presents shared “The Piano Teacher remains a beautiful, graceful and incredibly moving piece of theatre, filled with maturity and thoughtfulness.” Winner of The Governor General’s Award for English-Language Drama and Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Original Script, The Piano Teacher is sure to be a memorable experience for theatre-goers in Chemainus.
When classical pianist Erin (Rebecca deBoer) experiences a devastating family tragedy, she finds herself unable to play music or even touch a piano. Navigating through the traumatic loss of the life she knew, she meets an unconventional piano teacher, Elaine (Erin Ormond), who gives her new hope for the future. Rounding out the story is a contractor, Tom (Victor Hunter), who brings a new perspective and love of music into the equation.
