August Wilson’s Pulitzer and Tony-winning masterwork unfolds in 1936 Pittsburgh, where the Charles family struggles over an heirloom piano carved with the faces of their enslaved ancestors. Boy Willie arrives from Mississippi, determined to sell it to claim his future, while his sister Berniece guards the instrument as a sacred altar to their history. As their clash intensifies, the ghosts of the past begin to stir, forcing a reckoning with a legacy they can neither sell nor escape. PSF is proud to present this production directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames (Fat Ham).

Celebrate World Bike Day with a scenic 7 mile bike ride (out and back) along the flat, crushed stone D&L Trail, connecting Wy Hit Tuk Park and Theodore Roosevelt Recreation Area. This relaxed ride is suitable for a range of experience levels and offers a great way to enjoy a car free outdoor experience.

Riders will pass through Raubsville, including a stair crossing at Raubsville Road, and travel by Lock 23 (Raubsville Lock) and Lock 22 (Groundhog Lock) along a section of trail designated as part of the National Recreation Trail within Delaware Canal State Park.

Along the way, participants will learn how trails like the D&L serve as conservation corridors—protecting open space, supporting wildlife habitat, and promoting sustainable recreation along the Lehigh River.

This program is offered free of charge through funding from Northampton County. Please register online. Registration opens Monday, May 18.
