Playwright Lee Blessing Speaks at The Group Rep's THE WINNING STREAK This Weekend
Lee Blessing's The Winning Streak, directed by Sherry Netherland, produced by Lloyd Pedersen, is a funny and moving two-character bittersweet comedy concerning a son who seeks out the father he never met. The father, a retired umpire and baseball fanatic, thinks his newfound son's arrival has put his team on a winning streak. The son, in seeking out his father, is on a personal mission to find clues to his current troubles by discovering his past. With their goals within their grasp, they are exposed to a truth that neither one expected.
The play features the talents of Lloyd Pedersen and Daniel Sykes.
In addition to THE WINNING STREAK some of Blessing's other plays include "A Walk in the Woods," "Cobb", "Eleemosynary," "Going to St. Ives" and many other plays which have been performed worldwide.
His work has earned numerous awards -- Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, Steinberg/American Theater Critics Association, L.A. Critics Association to name a few -- and has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and nominated for Tony Awards and Olivier Awards.
