But when Simone's older sister, Devon, a social worker from blue collar Buffalo arrives for a visit, the two sisters' worlds collide and an unusual triangle forms. South Coast Repertory's Artistic Director Marc Masterson directs the Southland premiere of Elemeno Pea written by playwright Molly Smith Metzler when she was at Juilliard. The play premiered in 2011 at the 35th Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky.

August Wilson's First Play Jitney: Portrait of African-American Life in the 1970s

Full Price:
$52.00 - $62.00
Our Price:
$26.00 - $31.00

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson's acclaimed first work, Jitney, is the 1970s installment of his renowned cycle of 10 plays depicting African-American life in the 20th century. Jitney tells the stories of a ragtag group of men working in a Pittsburgh jitney cab company where tensions run high as the city threatens to shut it down. The station owner Becker has other things to worry about, as his son Booster is about to be released from prison after 20 years. Other characters include the motor-mouthed Turnbo who meddles in the lives of his fellow drivers; Youngblood, a Vietnam War veteran and his girlfriend Rena; and Shealy, a numbers-taker who uses the station as his base. Award-winning actor Charlie Robinson (Night Court) leads the cast. Jitney won the 2000-2001 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play. Learn More

My sisters and I went to see this last night and enjoyed it. There were some fun LOL moments, the right amount of pathos, staging was very attractive and all actors did a great job. We all could have done with a LOT less cursing. It was so prevalent that when it could have been used appropriately it lost its effect. Don't understand why modern theater believes it so necessary. Aside from that it was an enjoyable evening.
