Player's
Joy
written
and performed by Ralph Elias
directed by Jonathan Marten
"...A
work of passion and power. I was moved from laughter to
tears and back again. This show is a must-see for anyone
who loves the theatre."
—Rodney
Bonds, Chairman Emeritus
Baltimore Playwrights Festival
September 2002
Twenty-six
years as a professional actor/director and a lifetime as
a baseball fan have made Ralph
Elias stark raving sane — and a playwright.
In Player’s Joy he takes you for a funny, eccentric,
provocative trot around the bases of diamond and stage, through
a
dark clubhouse of painful memory, and back into sunlight.
An American story told in an original style reminiscent
of Spaulding Gray and Bob Costas (with a little help from
Will Shakespeare) we think you’ll find Player’s
Joy to be just what the title implies!
