The 90-minute play was commissioned by Center Stage and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, and is performed by an ensemble cast of California-based actors who play multiple roles. KJ Sanchez and Jenny Mercein wrote the script based on extensive interviews with ex-players, their families and fans, and it is told from their varying perspectives.
Center Stage is presenting it in its more intimate Head Theater. It plays through Dec. 20. For more information, click here.
