The Signal, 2.3.12 & 2.4.12, August Wilson’s “Jitney,” The Soul Shakedown Party, and violinist Chelsey Green

February 3rd & 4th, 2012, on The Signal…

August Wilson’s play, “Jitney,” stars a gruff, disenchanted cab dispatcher named Becker.  Actor Roscoe Orman plays the part expertly, and that’s a testament to his theatrical range:  He’s best known to the world as ‘Gordon’ from Sesame Street.  We drop in at a rehearsal with Mr. Orman and the rest of the cast as they prepare to stage Morgan State University’s production of “Jitney”
