JITNEY, the August Wilson play about unlicensed cab drivers in the 1970s, will make its Broadway debut this season in a new production from Manhattan Theater Club. JITNEY is the only work in Wilson’s 10-play Pittsburgh Cycle that hasn’t yet played Broadway. It premiered in Pittsburgh in 1982, and arrived in New York (in a revised version) at Signature Theater in 2000. Previews begin December 28, 2016.

The new staging will be directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who’s previously helmed Wilson plays including “The Piano Lesson” and “Seven Guitars.” His latest outing as a director, Skeleton Crew, recently made an Off Broadway return after a well-received run earlier this year.
