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”
We get a preview of this weekend’s Soul Shakedown Party at the Creative Alliance, an evening of music, film, food and dancing with a decidedly Caribbean flavor in honor of the legendary reggae artist Bob Marley
Plus: R & B meets classical strings when musician Chelsey Green trades the symphony circuit for the club scene
