The play focuses on the arguments between a brother and a sister who have different ideas on what to do with the piano. The brother, Boy Willie, is a sharecropper who wants to sell the piano to buy the land (Sutter\u0026#39;s land) where his ancestors toiled as slaves. The sister, Berniece, remains emphatic about keeping the piano, which shows the carved faces of their great-grandfather\u0026#39;s wife and son during the days of their enslavement.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAUDITION FORMAT:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAuditions will consist of a cold read from the script.
