August Wilson's Jitney
The National Black Arts Festival and Crossroads Theatre Company present this centerpiece production, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson's Jitney.  Set in a Jitney station- a self-created, self-supplied, self-owned and self-run taxi service- Wilson says he "...wanted to show how this group of men created jobs for themselves and became self-sufficient. They made a way out, of no way, and did it with a certain joy, a zest."

3:00 pm
Woodruff Arts Center: Alliance Theatre
$20.50- $29.50
