My autobiographical theater show will mark my first solo appearance at this eminent keyboard showcase. Nine piano pieces are performed in the course of the show, which also includes my climb atop the instrument itself, in order to engage in a dialogue with God.

” . . . fine performances of nine varied and challenging works that poignantly defined moments in the journey of a courageous artist . . . Buechner’s story, though often wrenching, was rich with childhood fantasies, wistful longings and absurd turns that had the audience laughing along.” — Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times.

“Of Pigs and Pianos” is presented with the assistance of Yamaha Artist Services, Bonnie Barrett, director; Phillip Baldwin, producer and co-creator; and Sal Trapani, director.

Full disclaimer: no pigs were harmed in the creation of the show.
