Enjoy dinner and a show! Award winning playwright, actor and director, Mike Wiley, poignantly chronicles African American athletes who pushed the color barrier to its breaking point. Glimpse into baseball legend Jackie Robinson’s life during a bygone era of separate and unequal locker rooms, whites-only hotels and restaurant back doors. Witness the hopeless humiliation of a star player showered with adulation on the field–but a second-hand citizen outside the stadium. Meet compatriots fighting the same battles between end zones, inside the ring, around the track. JACKIE ROBINSON: A GAME APART is a powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance and leadership.

 

Ages: Recommended for mature audiences over the age of 10.

Dinner Menu:
Seasoned Pork Chop, Cheddar Potatoes, Green Beans, Coleslaw, Rolls & Butter, Carrot Cake

Vegetarian Option: Black Bean Burger
