From José Cruz González, author of American Mariachi, comes a new play about baseball’s deep roots in the Mexican American community. When troublemaker Teo is put to work cleaning up a vacant lot belonging to his elderly neighbor, this unlikely pair forms a bond forged in history and America’s favorite pastime. Inspired by a neighborhood in California, this new piece of vibrant theater celebrates communities and individuals coming together to find hope, healing, love, and the occasional home run.

Commissioned by the Old Globe and underwritten by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, written by Jose Cruz Gonzalez and directed by Eric Schmiedl. Presented with arrangements by Susan Schulman Agency.
