***
This Is Not A Game of Baseball provides a complex look at the trailblazing former major league pitcher, Dock Ellis. The man's most (in)famous accomplishment becomes a springboard for exploring Ellis' incredible life story, including his eventual turn to sobriety and second career as a life-saving drug counselor. It is a memory play about a man who tragically can barely remember his greatest professional feat.
This is a unique outdoor theatrical experience, presented outdoors at Allen's Orchard in Marion, Iowa. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and grab a treat from the orchard store to take down to the field.
Baseball, apple pie, and the wide open Iowa sky... it's an experience you won't soon forget.

This unique outdoor theatrical experience is brought to you by Mirrorbox Theatre, Iowa's only theatre company dedicated exclusively to presenting contemporary plays not yet staged in the state.
