(Opening night: Thursday, April 9, 2026) Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center By August Wilson Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning "Fences" is a cornerstone of August Wilson’s The American Century Cycle, and a powerful exploration of fatherhood, identity, and legacy. Set in 1957, the play follows Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball star, now a sanitation worker. Grappling with the burden of his broken dreams, Troy struggles to assert control over his family and his future. Director and Old Globe favorite Delicia Turner Sonnenberg ("Deceived," "Trouble in Mind"), helms this deeply human portrait of a family’s love and resilience. August Wilson’s Fences is a must-see event that resonates as deeply today as it did when it first took the stage. Performances run April 4 – May 3, 2026, with the official press opening Thursday, April 9 at 7 p.m. The Old Globe on Facebook / Instagram

When Cady Heron moves from the African savanna to suburban Illinois, she quickly learns that surviving high school is a jungle of its own—especially when facing off with The Plastics, led by the iconic Regina George. Packed with clever humor, show-stopping numbers, and a heartfelt message about staying true to yourself, "Mean Girls" is a fiercely funny musical that proves popularity isn’t everything—it’s so fetch.
