Celebrating the 100-year anniversary (now 101 years) of the founding of Negro Leagues Baseball right in Kansas City, Missouri, this original musical play brings to life the dramatic history and exemplary courage of the men and women who played against all odds of racial discrimination and "Jim Crow" laws. Inspired by Buck O'Neill and Kansas City's Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, it is based on true stories from a richly entertaining era of baseball history. Legendary players Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Cool Papa Bell, Toni Stone, Bullet Rogan, Josh Gibson and others come to life in this thrilling musical. Tickets for the streaming show can be purchased here.
