AUGUST WILSON’S
FENCES
Directed by MICHAEL OFORI
TONY AWARD AND 1987 PULITZER PRIZE WINNING DRAMA
Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the play focuses on Troy, a 53-year-old working class head of house who struggles with providing for his family. He lives with his wife, Rose, and his teenage son, Cory. In his younger days Troy was an excellent baseball player and even played in the Negro Leagues, but that was before the color barrier in Major League Baseball had been broken. Fences explores the evolving challenge of a family attempting to build a safe home in the racially stratified 1950s suburban America.

About the Majestic
Before it was a live theater, local residents may remember the Majestic Theater as a movie house. It has since been renovated and reimagined to bring locally-produced professional live theater to the West Springfield area, giving local performance and technical artists the opportunity to thrive.
Every season at the Majestic consists of five productions featuring local actors. In addition to the mainstage season, the Majestic hosts seasonal concerts and limited shows, improv comedy, an annual holiday show, children’s theater, and education for young actors.
Recently named the Best Place to See Live Theater in the Pioneer Valley in the Valley Advocate Readers' Poll, the Majestic continues to offer great theater thanks to the support and generosity of its 4200+ subscribers.
