Casting Performers for Production of "Fences"
The company is holding auditions for August Wilson's "Fences" and looking for performers, please see he details below. About the project: Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro baseball leagues, now works as a garbage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. A towering figure facing thwarted aspirations, Troy attempts to assert control in his life through his relationships with his wife and son. But even as he takes responsibility for their safety and well-being, he betrays them each in ways that will forever alter their lives. Part of August Wilson’s 10-play Century Cycle, Fences explores the walls we build around ourselves and our loved ones, while also illuminating one family’s struggles in a racist society.
