Award-winning CSU Dominguez Hills Black Theatre Program Opens "Jitney" October 16

The California State University, Dominguez Hills Department of Theatre and Dance is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of its nationally recognized Black Theatre Program with an alumni-based production of August Wilson's 'Jitney' under the direction of Donis Leonard, associate professor of theatre arts.

Take a funky 70s ride in a ramshackle taxi depot in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. Here, the middle-aged men who drive unlicensed gypsy cabs, or ³jitneys,² strive to find honor and accomplishment amidst a landscape of diminishing opportunity. The station owner, Booster, struggles with the prospect of being closed down by the city, along with the return of his estranged son who has spent 20 years in prison, which unleashes two decades of brutal, raw emotion.

-- August Wilson stands among other great African American artists who hail from Pittsburgh¹s Hill District, such as Lena Horne, Billy Eckstine, Erroll Garner, and Art Blakely.--
