Caribbean Community Theater’s production of “Fences” continues with five more performances at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 12 and 13; Friday and Saturday, Nov. 19 and 20; and at 4 pm. on Sunday, Nov. 14.
The play is the sixth in renowned American playwright August Wilson’s ten-part “Pittsburgh Cycle,”which explores the evolving experience of Afro-Americans in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This examination of family relationships, of life and death, the “fastball on the outsider corner” and its consequences, earned Wilson the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1987.
Directed by Lionel Downer, it features Anthony Harris, Aniis Lester, Nehemiah D. Lloyd, Haile-Eyesus Murrell, Sherri Poree, Charles M. Stith and Lionel Downer.
All performances will be held at CCT, No. 18 Estate Orange Grove in Christiansted, St. Croix. Tickets are sold at the box office at CCT prior to each performance: $20 for adults; $18 for senior citizens age 65 and up; $15 for college students with ID; and $10 for students/children under age 18. This play is not recommended for children under age 12. The box office opens for ticket sales at 7:15 p.m. on show nights, and at 3:15 pm. for the Sunday matinee. Arrive early for best seating since there are no reservations accepted.
“Fences” is jointly supported by a grant from the Virgin Islands Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
