'Fences' at Villagers Theatre

Villagers Theatre's production of the classic play "Fences" will open this Friday, January 15.

Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues, now works as a garbage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. Excluded as a black man from the major leagues during his prime, Troy's bitterness takes its toll on his relationships with his wife and his son, who now wants his own chance to play ball.

The show features Arthur Gregory Pugh as Troy Maxson, Diane L. Parker as Rose Maxson, Malik Abdul-Khaaliq as Lyons Maxson, Frederick J. Philip, Jr. as Cory Maxson, Heaven Michelle McCoy as Raynell Maxson, Lawrence Jackson as Gabriel Maxson, and Lionel M. Macauley as Jim Bono. It is directed by Jerome John and produced by Andy Gordanier.

The show will run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays January 15-24. Tickets cost $15 per person; neither group rates nor discounts are available.
