August Wilson’s play Jitney takes place in Pittsburgh in 1977, in an unlicensed cab station, during Pittsburgh’s period of so-called “urban renewal.” As the city tries to shut down businesses -- including the cab station -- to make way for new building, we meet five jitney cab drivers struggling to survive. Wilson’s ensemble piece puts human faces to the process of gentrification seizing the United States, and it’s coming to the Morton Theatre on Saturday and Sunday.
