| Rounding Third |
August
9-10, 15-17, 22-24 |
| Directed
by: Hazel Zimmerman |
Written by: Richard Dresser |
Rounding Third is the tumultuous journey of two Little League coaches
through an entire season, from their first tentative meeting to the
climactic championship game.
The audience is the stand-in for the team, so the coaches speak
directly to attendees about competition, character,
punctuality and the importance of wearing the right equipment.
Over the course of exhilarating victories, heartbreaking defeats, and
interminable rain-outs, Michael and Don battle over how to
lead the team. Michael believes that the job of the coaches is to
shield the kids from the intense pressure of competition while making
sure everyone has a good time. Don thinks they should be
teaching the kids how to win.
Out of these conflicting philosophies, the real issues of the play
emerge: How should we raise our children? |

housewife are willing to do whatever it takes. These four best friends
put it all on the line in a new farce, written by one of our own Red
Barn favorites.
If you’re lookin’ for crazy ladies, who’ll stop at nothing to make you
laugh, then your search is over. You’re sure to fall in love with Ruth,
