Bleacher Boys
Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers Presents: Bleacher Boys, a film by Karen Hunter. This is a story of five men who shared a common dream as boys: the dream of growing up and playing major league baseball. Five men: each of whose dreams were dashed at an early age due to blindness. Five men, whose stories differ in detail, yet share that one common element. Their stories unfold in chapters like the innings of a baseball game with them sitting in the bleachers. Each inning becomes a chapter from their lives as they relate the hardships of overcoming the painful reality of never seeing again, to the struggle to create a new dream.

Manship Theatre
Wednesday, March 31, 7PM - 10PM
