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: | Two parents clash over differing viewpoints at their children's Little League game. Jersey-guy Rusty lives for the games, while widowed Jordanian mother Aliyah seems only concerned about working hard to support her family. But as they start talking to one another between cheers and coaching from the sidelines, they both take comfort in the realization that their off-field life is surprisingly similar. | |||||
