The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina proudly presents the critically acclaimed play "Fences," a profound narrative set in the 1950s Pittsburgh, showcasing the life of Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro League baseball, now working as a sanitation worker. This compelling story, part of August Wilson's celebrated Century Cycle, delves into the complexities of Troy's life as he navigates his relationships with his wife and son amidst his own unfulfilled dreams. The play brilliantly captures the essence of family struggles and personal battles during this era, highlighted with humor and riveting performances.

"Fences" has earned immense acclaim, including the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 1987 Tony Award for Best Play, with its original production starring the legendary James Earl Jones. The 2010 Broadway revival, directed by Kenny Leon and featuring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, received ten Tony nominations and won three, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Actor in a Play, and Best Actress in a Play.
