The Tony Award winning Viola Davis will join the Academy Award winning Denzel Washington in the new Broadway hit “Fences”.  The 13 week engagement will play the Cort Theatre with Kenny Leon as director and producer.  This play takes place over a 8 year span from 1957 to 1965.  It’s a story about a Pittsburgh sanitation worker who dreams of a baseball career.  Unfortunately for him he was too old when the major leagues began to admit black players. 

  The drama follows Troy maxson, a former baseball player in the Negro leagues who is now pushed downward to collecting trash on the streets.  He must deal with his headstrong football player son who has a chance to go so much further than he did or could.  While at the same time his wife constantly reevaluates their marriage when Troy comes home with the baby he fathered with another woman.
