When Drop appears, they are fascinated by this English speaking creature and the games she brings. The closer Orflong and Zip get to Drop, the more estranged they become from each other until they can no longer communicate. Drop presents a unique challenge as it is scripted in the Gavanuuyian language spoken by Orflong and Zip.

Notes: | Celebrating and exploring themes from America's favorite pastime, The Baseball Plays: 7th Inning Stretch is a collection of short comedies and dramas from the Mile Square Theatre's annual event. From a couple arguing over the use of steroids (Off Base by Theresa Rebeck) to a priest's fight to preserve the abandoned lot where the local children play ball (Asphalt Green by Rogelio Martinez), to a marriage dissolved over fantasy baseball (Fantasy League by Lee Blessing), this collection captures the love, frustration, and nostalgia surrounding this beloved sport. | |||||
Synopsis: | An ordinary day for two little league moms is upended when an unkempt stranger arrives to watch their children play baseball. Worried for their children's safety, the women try to have the stranger removed, only to realize that the game they take for granted offers peace of mind and simple reassurance to this troubled war veteran. | |||||
