Jive

Jive by Susan Rabin is a comedy that follows the rocky journey of white ‘shock-jock’ Chet Williams, who starts a new job at K-JIVE, a black music station in San Francisco. Chet struggles to resurrect his reputation and career after a controversial firing, and his love life after a divorce. Resentment by black employees, threats from disgruntled fans, and charges of sexual abuse make this comedy timely and provocative. An on-air political debate among candidates for mayor echoes modern events and strains the edges of political correctness. In Jive, characters develop unpredictable relationships as the story takes the audience on an outrageous ride.
