Our 2024 Script in Hand season returns with… SATCHEL PAIGE AND THE KANSAS CITY SWING
It’s 1947, and Satchel Paige is the king of baseball: a charismatic, superstar pitcher and a legend in the Negro Leagues. But as Jackie Robinson embarks upon his historic first season in the majors, Paige finds his own fame eclipsed and his desire for greater respect increasingly frustrated by the barriers he faces all around him. Set in Kansas City during a barnstorming tour, this jazz-infused tale of one of the greatest baseball players of all time paints a vivid picture of America on the brink of change, capturing the struggle for equality on and off the field. Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Swing tells a powerful story of resilience and transformation, highlighting a defining moment in the nation’s history.
With beautifully drawn characters and evocative storytelling, this extraordinary play by Westport author Trey Ellis and co-author Ricardo Khan expertly recounts a pivotal moment in history. Blending humor, heartbreak, and historical depth, Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Swing vividly brings to life the story a baseball legend and the era in which he lived. I can’t wait for our incredible cast to 'take the field' on the Playhouse stage and share this compelling and important story with our audience."
