August Wilson's Jitney

2017 Tony Award® Winner
Best Revival of a Play

Best of the Year!

—Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times


Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson’s deeply funny play Jitney follows a group of men trying to eke out a living by driving unlicensed cabs in 1970s Pittsburgh. When the city threatens to board up the business, secrets are revealed, tempers flare, and the fragile ties that bind these lives together threaten to come undone. Directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues), this acclaimed Broadway production is “a joyfully intoxicating celebration.” —The New York Times

Critic's Choice!

A triumphant melding of acting and drama… among the finest productions of a Wilson play I’ve seen.

4 stars

A superb production…skillfully layering in humor and heartbreak.
