August Wilson's "Jitney" at Slidell Little Theatre
Slidell Little Theatre 2024 Nellie Drive, Slidell, Louisiana 70458
As the 1977 edition of August Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle—a decade-by-decade cycle of plays about the Black experience—Jitney is set during a period of the city's urban renewal, and the city is shutting down businesses. In a Gypsy cab station, these dramas play out in the stories of five Gypsy cab drivers struggling to make ends meet. Directed by Will Williams for the Slidell Little Theatre stage. 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays; 2 pm Sundays. $28; $22 for students and seniors. slidelllittletheatre.org.
