Jitney

Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Company

Playwright: August Wilson; Director Mark Clayton Southers

Jitney

Set in the 1970s in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, and depicting gypsy-cab drivers who serve black neighborhoods, “Jitney” is the seventh in Wilson’s ten-play cycle (one for each decade) on the black experience in twentieth-century America.  A thoroughly revised version of a play Wilson first wrote in 1979, “Jitney” was produced in New York for the first time in spring 2000, winning rave reviews and the accolade of the New York Drama Critics Circle as the best play of the year.
