Coming Up: Children's Play - Sept. 27 & 28
|
|
JACKIE & ME
Sept. 27 & 28 * 7 p.m. * Mall Auditorium
This year's children's play -
Jackie & Me - tells the story of Joey Stoshack (
Mia Napue), based on the book by
Dan Gutman and produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Co. of Woodstock, Ill. Joey has the special power to travel through time by holding a baseball card and concentrating really hard. When he's given an assignment to write a paper on Jackie Robinson (
Michael Kennedy), it only makes sense to head back to 1947 and meet the famous baseball player. During his journey, Joey experiences what it's like to be African-American during a time of segregation. Directed by
Jill Bonavia-Galligani, assisted by
Kaila Chambliss,
Darrow Richmond &
Sheri Tarrer.
Tickets will be available at the door: $9/adult, $6/student/senior
