Altarena Playhouse presents FENCES

Joe Mallon, Neighbor

Altarena Playhouse (Frederick L. Chacon, Artistic Dir.) presents FENCES by August Wilson, directed by Gene Kahane.

Fifty-something Troy hasn’t had it easy.  The color barrier kept him out of Major League baseball, and as he struggles to make ends meet for his family, frustration over his tumultuous life sometimes gets in the way of his real affection for them.  This powerful exploration of race relations in 1950s America, whose productions have featured James Earl Jones and Denzel Washington, won the Pulitzer Prize, Tony, and Drama Desk awards.  Recommended for 13 & up.

Tickets $22 (seniors & students: $19) at altarena.org or 510-523-1553.
