Synopsis: A study of the human community that once frequented the bleacher seats of the old Polo Grounds in New York City. The play follows these rabid baseball fans through a bailgame between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers in the mid 'SOs. As the bleacherites scream and cheer and curse and joke their way through the game, we come to learn who they are and what their dreams and hopes and agonies are made of. The play in the end is a comic requiem for a way of life destroyed by the wrecker's ball. | ||||

Synopsis: The Yard is a cross-section of the poor man's social and athletic club known as a city school yard. Here, every Sunday morning, come the neighborhood folk - white, black, latin - to play ball, sun themselves, gossip, dance, drink beer and to continue some of the battles and con-flicts that make modern urban life the jangling, funny, violent, heady adventure that it is. | ||||
