School Series/Jackie Robinson: A Game Apart, performed by Mike Wiley

This 50-minute performance takes a glimpse into baseball legend Jackie Robinson’s life during a bygone era of separate and unequal locker rooms, whites-only hotels and restaurant back doors. Witness the hopeless humiliation of a star player showered with adulation on the field --but a second-hand citizen outside the stadium. Meet compatriots fighting the same battles between end zones, inside the ring, around the track. JACKIE ROBINSON: A GAME APART is a powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance, and leadership. Q&A session after the show.  

 Ages: 3rd – 8th Grades
