Portland Playhouse presents The World of Jitney
August Wilson’s Jitney brings us back to Pittsburgh’s Hill District in the 1970s, where a small, community-oriented business fights to keep its doors open in a context of urban renewal and economic recession. Join Portland Playhouse for a discussion exploring the world of Jitney and how it connects to life in Portland with guests including August Wilson scholar Pancho Savery (Reed College) and historian Reiko Hillyer (Lewis & Clark College). Moderated by Ruth Wikler-Luker. For more information, please click here. This is an Oregon Humanities grant-funded event.
