PIP_Jitney promoAugust Wilson’s JITNEY
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Oct. 15-Nov. 12
Eden Park

Directed by Timothy Douglas

Cast: Stori Ayers as Rena, Doug Brown as Fielding, Michael Kevin Darnall as Youngblood, Kenneth Early as Philmore, Dion Graham as Turnbo, Jefferson A. Russell as Shealy, Shane Taylor as Booster, Raymond Anthony Thomas as Becker & Michael Anthony Williams as Doub

The first script in August Wilson’s trailblazing 10-play cycle about the 20th-century African-American experience, JITNEY follows a group of men who operate an unlicensed car service in Pittsburgh’s Hill District during the 1970s. As they hustle to survive, they’re forced to confront the potential destruction of their community when the city threatens to close their station and board up the block in the name of urban renewal. Winner of the Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Olivier Award for best play, JITNEY showcases Wilson’s unequaled talent for celebrating the quiet dignity that can be found in the everyday struggles of life. Advisory: JITNEY is appropriate for adult and older teenage audiences. The play contains strong adult language, discussions of racial justice and other mature themes.
