GAME ON: Mile Square Theatre Presents “7th Inning Stretch” — Seven Short Plays About Baseball

After a two-year hiatus while the company built its new theatre facility on the north side of Hoboken, MST once again presents an evening of short play premieres by some of America’s most produced and celebrated playwrights. This year the event includes the work of Suzanne Bradbeer, Bekah Brunstetter, Eric Conger, Oded Gross, John Kolvenbach, Robert Lyons, and Lia Romeo.

7 playwrights, 7 directors, 7 casts—7^th Inning Stretch has been an audience favorite since its inception in 2003 and now returns in its 13th iteration.

MST founder and artistic director Chris O’Connor, who conceived of the idea of presenting  short works based on the baseball theme, has been eager to get back to the event.  “We started the event as an homage to Hoboken’s historic connection to the game. It went from a one-off event to an annual project that sustained itself for 12 years.

“Since leaving our space at the Monroe Center in 2014,” O’Connor continues, “we haven’t had a suitable venue for this wonderful event. Now that our new theatre is built, we’re thrilled to get back to commissioning and producing 10-minute plays about baseball.  We have an exciting lineup of writers and we can’t wait to have Stretch fans see this year’s show.”

Mile Square Theatre returns to its signature event of new short plays about baseball. September 17 is the Triple Play Party. Eat, drink, and mix with the casts of the plays.

Friday, Sept 16 @ 8pm and Sunday, Sept 18 @ 3pm: $25 • Students/Seniors: $20
