  • Show Dates & Info

August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Fences is a powerful and timeless exploration of family, ambition, and the fences we build—both seen and unseen.

Set in 1957 Pittsburgh, working-class man, Troy Maxon, a former baseball star who was excluded from the major leagues in his prime struggles with an unrealized dream in a society that deems him inferior. As he navigates love, loyalty, and the choices that define a lifetime, Troy confronts lifelong barriers of pride, regret, and ambition.
