Heritage Parc is excited to host auditions for August Wilson’s Fences—a powerful, award-winning play that explores family, race, love, and legacy. Set in the 1950s, Fences follows the journey of Troy Maxson, a former baseball player navigating the struggles of fatherhood, dreams deferred, and societal expectations. This iconic work is a staple of American theater, offering deeply layered characters and emotional storytelling. We are casting for key roles and invite passionate actors to audition and bring this compelling story to life on stage. Stay tuned for details!
