The Institute of Wonderful Women Working for Empowerment (IW3E) is set to host a Theater Gala in conjunction with McCarter Theatre’s production of “The Piano Lesson” on Sunday, January 10, 2016 starting at 2 p.m. Immediately following the performance there will be a meet-the-cast reception, dinner, silent auction and live music.

One of August Wilson’s most powerful and transcendent works, The Piano Lesson is a profound, melodic tale set in 1930s Pittsburgh.

Proceeds for the event will benefit IW3E’s Just in Time Scholarship and Mentoring Program. The cost for the Gala event is $85.
