Read Dan Skora’s review of Williamston Theatre’s Rounding Third, for It’s All Theatre
Baseball has often been called a metaphor for life. It’s played on a field of green which serves as a constant reminder that life is best lived in natural surroundings. While many get to play the whole nine innings, some get pulled early. No one succeeds every time, but there’s always another chance at redemption. You can steal if you want to, but sometimes you’ll get caught and have to suffer the consequences. Ask any young buck how his romancing the new office secretary is going and he’s apt to tell you that he can’t even get past first base, or, worse yet, that he’s struck out. Some will even point to the fact that baseball can be found in the Bible. It begins, after all, with the words “In the big inning”.
