The 8th play in August Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle, “Jitney” tells the story of a group of black men in 1970, who are illegal and unlicensed taxi drivers, as well as their passengers in the Hill district, a place where white taxi drivers refuse to go.
“Jitney” was the winner of the 2017 Tony Award for Best Play Revival, and the 2000-2001 New York Drama Critics Award for Best New Play and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off Broadway Play.
