Grand Rapids Civic Theatre: Ten For All Playwriting Festival
The Game, submitted by Eirann Betka-Pope for the 2nd Annual "Ten For All: Playwriting Festival" at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, tells the story of local historical figures: Margaret (Marge) Wenzell and Dorothy (Dottie/Kammie) Kamenshek. Two mid-western players from the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League who rivalled, met on the diamond, and fell in love. This short, but moving play follows their journey from their first game (First Base), to their secret affair (Second Base), to their old age (Third Base), and eventually their passing (Home).
The Game won the Audience Choice Award for the Ten For All Festival, with Chapman's directing being referred to as "...a simple, yet beautiful stye of storytelling to compliment a new and heartfelt script."
