It's opening night for PianoLessonPlay! Stars SamuelLJackson, JDavidWashington and more spoke with DanaTylerTV.

Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington and Danielle Brooks lead the cast in this new production. They spoke to CBS2's Dana Tyler.

"Denzel and I beat the pavement together here. We did plays together," Jackson said."To be a part of John David's development as an actor, to get him to that place that we talked about. I said, 'Look, if you can't do it here, you really can't do it.'" Jackson's wife, 2014 Tony-nominated actress LaTanya Richardson, is directing this play. Her first role on Broadway was in 2009 in August Wilson's"Joe Turner's Come and Gone."

"What I would really want people to take away from this piece, or at least from my portrayal of Lymon, is his heart. And the idea that this is a person who is looking to make a better life for themselves," Fisher said.
