WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
On the anniversary of their victory in the Pennsylvania state championship game, four members of the starting lineup of a small-town Catholic high school basketball team gather with their coach to re-live their youthful glory. As the night progresses, the long buried grudges and secrets of the once-confident players surface, threatening not just their solidarity, but the meaning of their victory. With savage humor, That Championship Season probes the darkest aspects of the American dream of success at all costs. In his original review of the play in the New York Times, Clive Barnes wrote, "Wow! This is precisely the kind of
relevant and hard-hitting play that Broadway should be doing if it has any chance of survival. That Championship Season is Broadway theatre at its finest."

Worth seeing for cast
Enjoyed the cast. The play was a bit dated but the intensity of the characters made up for it.

If the demise of Fox's 24 is what has freed Kiefer Sutherland to finally make it to Broadway -- in Gregory Mosher's immaculately gritty revival of Jason Miller's award-winning 1972 drama That Championship Season, now at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre -- then those die-hard series fans should much less deprived. Aided by co-stars Brian Cox, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Noth, and Jason Patric, the cast brings this emotinally charged drama to urgent and abrasive life.
The play is set during the 20th reunion of a championship Pennsylvania high school basketball team (at a time when relatively short men could compete victoriously), where the group engages in alcohol-aided bonding at the home of their n[...]
