A family confronts ambition, resentment, and change in 1950s Pittsburgh.
Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, August Wilson’s play follows Troy Maxson, a former athlete whose disappointments and struggles shape his relationships with those around him. At home, his wife Rose works to hold the family together while hoping their son Cory can pursue opportunities denied to Troy. As generational tensions grow and differing visions for the future collide, unresolved frustrations begin to strain the household.
Through family conflict and personal reflection, the play examines responsibility, ambition, race, and the lasting impact of the past. This production is directed by Daniel Bailey.
