Support Voter Access

This fall we present Jitney by Penumbra Theatre company member and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner August Wilson. The play focuses on the lives of jitney car drivers who serve the black community in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, where Wilson grew up. We are activating Wilson’s play by helping voters get to the polling station at the Martin Luther King Center, where Penumbra makes its home. Donate $20 to support voter access and to ensure that those who need a ride to the polls can depend on transportation. In partnership with local taxi services, we will distribute vouchers to residents of Precinct 8 to provide fully subsidized, round trip cab fare to the polls.
