See August Wilson’s award-winning play “Fences,” the story of Troy Maxson, a former Negro leagues baseball player working as a garbage collector in 1957 Pittsburgh. Shut out of Major League Baseball during his prime, Troy carries years of bitterness and frustration that strain his relationships with his wife, Rose, and son, Cory. When Cory pursues his own opportunity to play football, father and son clash over ambition, family and the possibilities available to the next generation. Sponsored in
