Gananoque: Thousand Islands Playhouse presents “The Piano Teacher” October 10-November 2

Tuesday, October 7, 2025

Thousand Islands Playhouse presents The Piano Teacher by Dorothy Dittrich, winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama in 2022. The show plays from October 10 to November 2 at the Firehall Theatre.

When words fail, music speaks. The Piano Teacher, directed by Evalyn Parry, opens this weekend with the help of an exceptional cast and creative team. The Piano Teacher is an intimate, deeply human story about how art can help us find our way back to ourselves.

When a renowned classical pianist experiences a devastating family tragedy, she finds herself unable to play music or even touch a piano. Navigating her way through the traumatic loss of the life she knew, she meets an unconventional piano teacher who reacquaints her with the instrument and gives her new hope for the future. THE PIANO TEACHER is a beautiful story of loss, love, friendship, and the healing power of music.
