Omaha Community Playhouse is offering $10 tickets for all UNMC faculty, staff and students for the Friday, Feb. 10, performance of August Wilson\u2019s “Fences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pulitzer Prize-winning classic is about a former African American league baseball player who struggles to co-exist with the racial trauma he still carries from his time in the league. When his frustrations lead to a series of tragic choices, his relationships with his wife and son suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in the 1950s, “Fences” is the sixth installment in “The American Century Cycle,” a series of 10 plays by Wilson that trace the Black experience through 20th century America. Please note: This production contains racially charged language, including racial slurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discount tickets are valid for all seating zones. Limit of eight tickets per order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use code UNMCFENCES to receive discounted tickets online<\/a>, by calling the Omaha Community Playhouse box office or through Ticket Omaha.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
