WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Award-winning author Richard Dresser turns his sardonic wit towards one of America's treasured institutions - Little League Baseball. Rounding Third introduces us to two coaches - one a veteran, the other a new recruit - and their markedly different personal circumstances and philosophies about the game. Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball. The play is directed by John Rando, winner of the 2002 Tony award for Urinetown. Matthew Arkin stars.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Richard Dresser's Rounding Third calls to mind The Odd Couple, except that it takes place in the world of Little League baseball and it's not as funny. Don (Robert Clohessy) is a brash, aging jock who can still remember the wins and losses of his own Little League career. Now, as a coach, he rules his team with an iron hand. Michael (Matthew Arkin) is a nebbishy new assistant coach who is chronically tardy and whose prior sports experience is limited to being on a curling team as a young boy. (Curling is a Canadian sport played on ice and involving granite stones.) Predictably, the two men clash repeatedly in terms of coaching style, rules of behavior, and game strategy.
