The Summer King World Premier

Thursday, April 27, 2017

The Summer King tells the story of baseball legend Josh Gibson. Josh went from the sandlots of Pittsburgh’s North Side to the pinnacle of greatness in the Negro Leagues, before ultimately being enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.

The story follows Josh at key points in his life, including his playing days in the Negro Leagues as well as in Mexico, where he was awarded the MVP award while playing for the Veracruz Azules.

The show opens this Saturday, April 29, and runs May 2, 5, & 7 at the Benedum Center. Buy tickets here!
