Fences

7:30 p.m. at The Ritz Theater, 201 S. Magnolia Ave., Sanford. Set mostly in 1957, a landmark year for the Civil Rights Movement, Troy Maxson, an African American father and husband, feels a desperate need to provide for his family. With something to say about everything, his strong opinions and overbearing personality build emotional fences between himself and his wife and sons. As Troy struggles to find his purpose in life despite the many obstacles and prejudices that stand in his way, his actions force his family members to examine their own lives and their feelings about relationships, self-respect, power, commitment, birth and death.
