Next Stage

Perceptive and potent. Step into the batter’s box with the true story of the first woman to play professional baseball in the Negro Leagues in 1953. This high-energy play follows Toni’s fierce journey as she knocks down barriers and out-runs prejudice to play the game she loves. A powerful drama, it’s a celebration of resilience and the joy of the diamond. A “home run” that is an inspiring tribute to an American pioneer. *This play is in our season as a direct result of Theatre Memphis’ Read to Relate program.

An original play by Lydia R. Diamond / Director, Sherronda Whitmore Johnson
