This article is by the Creative and Performing Arts Center

Please join the Creative And Performing Arts Center (CAPAC) for our upcoming production of August Wilson’s Fences.

The play tells the story of Pittsburgh sanitation worker Troy Maxson, who once dreamed of a baseball career, but was too old when the major leagues began admitting Black athletes. As he faces racial barriers at work and his own disappointments, Troy also grapples with his son’s hope for a college football scholarship and is confronted by his wife about his infidelity.
