Jackie Robinson: A Game Apart at North Carolina Stage Company

The Scoop

For Two Weeks Only! Jackie Robinson: A Game Apart, written and performed by Mike Wiley, provides a glimpse of Jackie Robinson’s life during an era of separate and unequal locker rooms, of whites only hotels, and of restaurants with a back door for colored athletes. Witness a star player who was showered with adulation on the field but became a second-hand citizen when he walked off the diamond. A powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance and leadership. “This is more than mere versatility – it’s virtuosity.” – American Theatre Magazine
