The Piano Teacher
February 3 - 15, 2026
written by Dorothy Dittrich
directed by Evalyn Parry
a Thousand Islands Playhouse production
What would you do if you lost the life you knew?
Erin, a renowned classical pianist, experiences a devastating family tragedy. Because of this she finds herself unable to play music or even touch a piano. As she navigates the loss of the life she knew, she begins taking in-home piano lessons from Elaine. Elaine reacquaints Erin with the instrument, giving her new hope for the future. In Erin's own home, a reconstruction project brings new light and life to the space, and a new relationship.
The Piano Teacher is a beautiful story of loss, love, friendship and the healing power of music. Winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama in 2022.
This play is gorgeous, emotional, and full of the most beautiful music. It will stir and revive the soul.
Evalyn Parry, who deftly helmed 24-25’s Why It’s imPossible, returns to direct.
