    Join us for the return of this internationally acclaimed drama about the life of Jackie Robinson. Through a series of moving flashbacks that chronicle Jackie’s life from childhood to his professional career, the play celebrates the life of an extraordinary man fighting a tough battle against prejudice to become the first African-American major league baseball player. Come along as Jackie faces bitter confrontations on the way to one of his greatest moments of triumph - receiving the Most Valuable Player award for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1949.
