HALFTIME WITH DON by Ken Weitzman
Tuesday, October 13 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 17 at 1 p.m.
Retired NFL player Don Devers (played by The Wire’s Brian Anthony Wilson) has had over 30 surgeries, experiences violent outbursts, and relies on a blizzard of yellow Post-It notes to offset his ravaged memory. When a longtime fan appears at his doorstep, Don seeks to salvage his life with a single act of heroic self-sacrifice.
