Hyannis Harbor Hawks and Hyannis Arts Hall to hold joint benefit performance of Off-Broadway hit Rounding Third
Saturday June 27 @ 7 pm &amp; Sunday, June 28 @ 2 pm Hyannis Harbor Hawks and Hyannis Arts Hall are joining to present a humorous and dramatic look at America’s favorite sport of baseball, on stage at Hyannis Arts Hall in late June. The hit Off-Broadway play Rounding Third
has entertained audiences across the U.S. with laugh-out-loud comedy and lessons for life.
Rounding Third, by Richard Dresser, portrays the tumultuous journey of two Little League coaches through an entire season, from their first tentative meeting to the climactic championship game. Over the course of exhilarating victories and heartbreaking defeats, the two men battle over how to lead the team. The play is rated PG-13.
“The Hyannis Harbor Hawks are elated to partner with Hyannis Arts Hall for this fundraiser,” said Jim Hurley, president of Hyannis Harbor Hawks. “It’s a win-win for both organizations. It helps us expand our fan base and support the local community.”
The play will be performed as a reading with music and sound effects, on Saturday, June 27, at 7 pm and Sunday, June 28 at 2 pm — to benefit both the Hyannis Harbor Hawks of the Cape Cod Baseball League and the year-round Hyannis Arts Hall. Harbor Hawks staff will hold a talkback Q&amp;A with the audience after Sunday’s performance.
 
Doors will open an hour before performances, with beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages, plus ballpark snacks and a silent auction of baseball memorabilia. Tickets can be found now on<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1990871856315?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> eventbrite.com</a> for $35 general admission including fees. Supporter tickets are $100 Including fees. Tickets at the door are $40.
Familiar faces from Cape Cod stages are bringing this Off Broadway hit to the Hyannis Arts Hall stage with Hyannis Harbor Hawks. J Hagenbuckle directs, with Neil McGarry and Philip Scudder as the coaches. The production is the first of more than a dozen plays, comedy acts, movies, concerts, lectures and more being scheduled at Hyannis Arts Hall through early fall.
Hyannis Harbor Hawks is one of 10 teams in the <a href="https://www.capecodleague.com/hyannis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cape Cod Baseball League</a>, the premier collegiate summer baseball league in the nation, with its origins dating to 1885.
