Ten 10-minute plays by ten local playwrights, performed by an ensemble of ten local performers. Produced intermittently at FPCT since 2014, it is among the most well known and most popular original play festivals in our region. The audience votes on their favorite play to win! Stay tuned for play, director, and cast announcements.
November 13 - December 13
Produced in Partnership with the Baltimore August Wilson Celebration, FPCT is proud to present the seventh play in August Wilson's extraordinary American Century Cycle.
​
In the Hill District of Pittsburgh in 1970, a group of Black men struggle to make a living as drivers for a makeshift taxi company. Owner Jim Becker’s son, Clarence, returns from prison just as the cab company faces a critical juncture. Deep animosities and long-held grudges come to the surface, jeopardizing the prospects for the drivers, who include alcoholic Fielding, gossipy, comical Turnbo, and earnest, decent Youngblood.
​
While Jitney falls seventh chronologically in the American Century Cycle, it was the first play of the series to be written and produced.
