ENCORE PRODUCTION OF AUGUST WILSON'S FENCES TICKETS ON SALE DECEMBER 15, 2023.
FENCES
August Wilson
!Encore Production!
February 22-25, 2024
Troy Maxson is a garbage collector who prides himself on his ability to provide for his family and keep it together. He is the patriarch and central character in Fences, (1950-1965), he continually places barriers between himself and the very people he loves the most. Troy’s rebellion and frustration set the tone for this play as he struggles for a sense of fairness in a society that offers none. He and his son clash over their conflicting views of what it means to be a black man in mid-century America. The PURE LIFE THEATRE 2022 production of this show was shortened because of COVID-19 and due to so many requests to see the production - Pure Life is bringing members of its original cast back for this encore performance.
Pure Life family:Tamar Davis, Jennifer Ijeoma, Deb Royals, and Verlene Oates and (far right) ESC's Robin Rice.
THANK YOU ESC!

The work included board development and strategic planning. The final piece included a full guided organizational assessment of the company. The work completed and the funds received will have a long-lasting impact on Pure Life and its work in the community.
