Regular cabs won’t travel to the Pittsburgh Hill District in 1977, so local residents turn to the unlicensed taxi company of Jim Becker and his fellow ‘jitney’ drivers. When Becker’s son returns from prison, a struggle to reconcile the past begins, and the future of the company and its drivers is threatened. Jitney explores the fragile bond between eight men as they live, love and work in a racially segregated, post-Vietnam America.

August Wilson is one of America’s greatest and most ambitious writers. He has been referred to as the “theatre’s poet of Black America” and his plays including: Fences and The Piano Lesson chronicle the experiences and heritage of the African-American community in the 20th century.
