 Fences
October 31,
November 1 & 2, 2008; 8 pm, 3 pm
Sunday; Fences by August
Wilson; AFA Joy and Lynch
Christian Warehouse Theatre at
Commerce & 5th Street.
 August
Wilson's sensational play
Fences has won every major
award, including Drama Desk,
Outer Critics Circle, New York
Drama Critics, Tony and Pulitzer
Prizes. Directed by Jennifer
Petticolas and performed by the
Black Theatre Ensemble,
Fences centers around Troy
Maxson, a former star of the
Negro baseball leagues who is
working as a garbage man in
1957. He is very bitter that he
was excluded from major league
baseball during his prime and
was too old to play when the
sport finally was integrated.
Maxson's son wants a chance at
professional sports, but Maxson
refuses to let him try his luck. |

 One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Directed by Brooke
Farmer
October 31
November 1, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15
Produced by permission of Samuel French, Inc.
Randle P. McMurphy is a charming rogue who
contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution
rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with
the head nurse, a fierce martinet. Quickly, he takes over the yard
and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do:
he leads others in the ward out of introversion. In doing so he
becomes a sort of leader, and the conflicts with the staff increase
toward an inevitable end. Winner of the 2001 Outer Critics Circle
Award for Outstanding Revival. |
