Presentation: The Italian "Jitney": From the Hill District to the International Stage

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 | 4-6pm | Archives and Special Collections Instruction Room, 340 Hillman Library

Please join us for a discussion with Italian director Renzo Carbonera as we explore the research and work that went into producing and directing the first ever Italian translation and stage performance of an August Wilson play, Jitney, which premiered in early 2023 in Vicenza. The discussion will be illustrated by excerpts from a recorded production of the play.

Hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Library System, the European Studies Center, and the Department of French & Italian, in partnership with the August Wilson House
