- **Event Description**: Powerful Long Ladder presents Italy's Sardegna Teatro and La Piccionaia's Italian production of Pulitzer Prize-winner August Wilson's Jitney

It is Pittsburgh, 1977. In the midst of the steel industry crisis, for which the city is known worldwide, five drivers, Becker, Youngblood, Turnbo, Fielding, and Doub, struggle to get by, clinging nostalgically to the past, while seeing only the dark outlines of an uncertain future on the horizon.

Cleveland’s Powerful Long Ladder in association with Case Western Reserve University presents Italy's Sardegna Teatro and La Piccionaia's exciting Italian production of Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson's Jitney. The play is directed by Renzo Carbonera in Italian with an all Black-Italian cast. Cleveland is the company's second stop in the USA.

This is the first foreign translation of Jitney by Wilson whose ten play century cycle which includes Fences, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and The Piano Lesson, chronicles the African American experience.
