All levels of experience in both baseball and theatre are welcome.
Our theatrical repertoire will include stage combat, playwriting and scene studies (all about baseball…).
Experienced theatre kids will have the opportunity to develop solo performance moments while kids trying out acting for the first time can tame their butterflies in group scene work and see where it goes…
Baseball-wise, beginning players will focus on skills development in a supportive environment, while elite players will be challenged to take their game to the next level with our high level coaches.
