This Pulitizer Prize-winning play chronicles the black experience in the 1950s through the story of Troy Maxon, a man who fills his home with humor, tyrannical outbursts and unexpected tenderness. Once a baseball star in the Negro League, now a garbage collector fighting for promotion, he faces middle age with scaled down dreams. But as he struggles to hold on to his dignity and his family, Troy puts up fences between himself and those he most wants to protect—his son, his wife, even his loyal friend, who see the world through different, more hopeful, eyes. The play will be performed on the Segerstrom Stage of the South Coast Repertory, which is located at 655 Town Center Dr., Costa Mesa. The play runs from 1/22 – 2/21.
