Nice workshop presentation of the world premiere of Diana Amsterdam's THE DODGERS. Maybe, joints should have been passed out along with the programs, so that the audience could be on the same plane as the characters in the opening scenes - as Dave Solomon directed - in a most relaxed, lethargic state of being high.  

Ashley Kate Adams of AKA Studio Productions and Jim Kierstead present the World Premiere of a new American play, THE DODGERS, written by Diana Amsterdam and directed by Dave Solomon. THE DODGERS will feature Corbin Bleu ('High School Musical'), Eric Nelsen (2015 Emmy Winner for 'The Bay Series'; Broadway: 13), Emma Hunton (Elphaba on North American Wicked Tour), Jared Gertner (The Book Of Mormon - Olivier Nomination), Asher Grodman, and Talisa Friedman.
