About The Event
Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, Fences is a gripping and poetic stage play by August Wilson that explores the struggles of Troy Maxson—a former Negro League baseball player turned sanitation worker—who wrestles with bitterness, broken dreams, and the shifting tides of family and race in America. As he tries to protect his family behind emotional "fences," he ends up building barriers that challenge the very relationships he seeks to preserve. A powerful reflection on generational wounds, missed opportunities, and the complexity of fatherhood.
