This comedy is a hilarious portrayal of a co-ed baseball team confronting the worst slump of the season -- without the coach.

A laughable production in six innings, this is a delightfully perceptive play about young America's favorite pastime -- Little League. Set in the visitor's dugout, with monologues on the pitcher's mound and at home plate.

The Angels brass out a real game against an imaginary team of powerhouse hitters. The result is frantic, funny and often touching, as the team discovers they have a lot to learn about themselves and the true spirit of baseball.

The play offers challenges in mime, cheerleading and accurate, realistic characterization.
