‘Fences’ opening postponed at Stage 3 theater

Stage 3 Theatre Company of Sonora has postponed the opening of Fences, the first play in its 2013 season.

Fences, a Pulitzer Prize winning drama by August Wilson, was scheduled to open tonight but instead will open next Friday, Feb. 15 so that the company has more time to prepare.

This is the first time weve had to do this, said Don Bilotti, the plays director and Stage 3s artistic director. This production is too important to the theater and the community to not give it our absolute best shot.

A benefit preview Thursday night went on as scheduled.

Fences tells the story of Troy Maxson, a star of the Negro baseball leagues whose career was strangled by racism. After scraping his life together, forces at the dawn of the Civil Rights era threaten to rip apart everything hes struggled to build.

The New Yorker magazine called it Gorgeous. Thrilling. Unmissable.
