Sponsored by the Martinsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Tau Omicron Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
Actor and playwright Mike Wiley will perform "A Game Apart,” a one-person play about baseball legend Jackie Robinson, on Thursday, March 26, at Piedmont Arts. A reception will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the performance at 7 p.m. in the galleries.
"A Game Apart" offers a powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance, and leadership. The play provides a glimpse into Robinson’s life during the era of segregated locker rooms, whites-only hotels, and restaurants with only a back door for athletes of color to enter. Witness the struggles of a star player who was celebrated on the field but became a second-class citizen when he walked off the diamond.
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for students in grades K-12. Online ticket sales end at noon on the day of the event. Tickets will be available at the door.
