Written by Richard Greenberg, this Tony Award-winning play is presented as a Legacy Revival and explores the high-stakes world of professional baseball when a star player comes out as gay. Razor-sharp and wickedly funny, the story exposes the fractures of masculinity, race, and class hidden beneath a culture built on silence, creating an electrifying collision between the worlds of sports and theatre.
