Placer Community Theater will present “PICKLEBALL,” the laugh-out-loud comedy by Jeff Daniels, opening Saturday, September 13 at the General Gomez Arts Center for a three-weekend run through Sunday, September 28. Directed by talented David B. Atkinson, this high-energy production skewers America’s fastest-growing sport with razor-sharp wit, heart, and a whole lot of friendly trash talk.
Atkinson says "Pickleball" is a laugh-out-loud, hilarious romp about people who are obsessed with a sport, sometimes leading to death. "I am privileged to have such a talented cast to portray these wacky characters."
Set amid a small-town tournament, “PICKLEBALL” follows six less-than-elite players chasing greatness—no apologies, no excuses—proving middle-aged athleticism can be equal parts inspiring and unhinged. It’s a satire with bounce: obsession, rivalry, redemption…and not a single cucumber in sight.
