Review: Jitney at Ford's Theatre

I had the opportunity to usher on Opening Night for August Wilson's Jitney at Ford's Theatre last week. If you are in the DC area, I urge you to come out and sample this fine work of drama. Set in 1977 Pittsburgh, it tells the story of several gypsy cab drivers and dealing with the problems afflicting the city in the late 1970s. The interpersonal stories of each of the character weave a wonderful story and the play holds you tight for the full two and a half hours.

Here is the review that appeared in the Washington Post.
