Old Globe Theatre Presents “Fences”
By August Wilson and directed byDelicia Turner Sonnenberg, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning “Fences” is a cornerstone of August Wilson’s The American Century Cycle, and a powerful exploration of fatherhood, identity, and legacy. Set in 1957, the play follows Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball star, now a sanitation worker. Grappling with the burden of his broken dreams, Troy struggles to assert control over his family and his future. Director and Old Globe favorite Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (“Deceived,” “Trouble in Mind”), helms this deeply human portrait of a family’s love and resilience. August Wilson’s “Fences” is a must-see event that resonates as deeply today as it did when it first took the stage.
“Fences” run from Saturday, April 4 through Sunday, May 3, 2026 at the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, Old Globe Theatre, Conrad Prebys Theatre Center (1363 Old Globe Way).
Tickets are currently available by subscription only online at TheOldGlobe.org.
