"Wilson's characters are rich, complex, delightful and engaging in and of themselves, but the magic is in their interaction."

"It is not surprising I had an excellent evening at the African-American Shakespeare Company's production of August Wilson's 'Jitney', directed by and starring our own top-flight

L. Peter Callender."
