Alley Theatre is currently presenting August Wilson's Fences, the Tony Award-winning drama playing now through May 10, 2026 at the Hubbard Theatre in Houston, Texas. Get a first look at production photos here!

Directed by Eileen J. Morris, the legendary play follows a former baseball player navigating racial prejudice, unfulfilled dreams, the challenges of parenthood, and the bonds of family in a story that continues to resonate decades after its premiere.

David Rainey leads the cast as Troy Maxson, joined by Michelle Elaine as Rose, Aramie Payton as Cory, Alex Morris as Jim Bono, Kendrick "KayB" Brown as Lyons, Timothy Eric as Gabriel, and Mila Glenn and Paisley Rayne Richmond as Raynell.
