Overflowing with passion, poetry and unforgettable characters, August
Wilson’s plays are important reflections of our American history.
It’s the late 1970s. The bloom has faded on the civil
rights era, and urban renewal threatens to unravel the lives of
a man, his family and his community by shutting down his unlicensed

Guitars, Jitney is a powerhouse drama that lives in the
mind and heart long after you leave the theatre. Contains mature language
