UNDER A BASEBALL SKY by José Cruz González


  • Beck Center for the Arts 17801 Detroit Avenue Cleveland, OH, 44107 United States (map)

NHP alum and Board Member José Cruz González’s play Under a Baseball Sky was developed at the New Harmony Project in 2018, and will have its second production at the Beck Center for the Arts in Cleveland.

From José Cruz González, author of American Mariachi, comes a new play about baseball’s deep roots in the Mexican American community. When troublemaker Teo is put to work cleaning up a vacant lot belonging to his elderly neighbor, this unlikely pair forms a bond forged in history and America’s favorite pastime. Inspired by a neighborhood in California, this new piece of vibrant theatre celebrates communities and individuals comingtogether to find hope, healing, love, and the occasional home run.
