Wilmington Drama League |

In 1957, blacks and whites living in the North theoretically enjoyed equality. August Wilson’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Fences explores how the reality for black people in America was far different. Part of Wilson’s acclaimed Pittsburgh Cycle, Fences tells the poignant and enormously entertaining story of a father and son in conflict over their identies as black men and hopes for the future. Wilson is ranked among the great American playwrights, and in telling the stories of black Americans, he reveals universal human truths about the struggle for love, dignity, and happiness.

What can happen to a community in ten months' time?" Through interviews, video and live actors, DTC will explore ten months in the life of Wilmington, both in the past and present. Audiences will follow stories of their neighbors, community leaders — and sometimes those of forgotten voices — through ten-month time periods in Wilmington's early history, the occupation by the National Guard in 1968, and in present-day Wilmington. Best enjoyed by audiences ages 15 and up.
