Love and Baseball

Two of my guilty pleasures-romantic comedies and baseball-are married in a hilarious one-act play.... LOVE AND BASEBALL is the latest success by...playwright Jerry Montoya. This clever take on gender stereotypes.... LOVE AND BASEBALL tells the improbable love story of Will and Michele. Will is a documentary filmmaker searching for conflict to enhance his stories. Michele is a community college philosophy professor whose idea of rocking out consists of listening to elevator music. After a chance first meeting, it's love at first insult (?), kicking off an hour and a half of witty repartee and a battle of the sexes. Montoya fills the dialogue with innuendo and baseball anecdotes, sparking nostalgia for the Oakland A's of the 80s and delighting...baseball fans.... Despite his allegiance to the Dodgers, Montoya manages to rekindle the thrill that we feel when watching America's pastime.... With some surprising plot twists and smart rhythm, LOVE AND BASEBALL is a rare jewel that has something for everyone. Intelligent, humorous, and (bases) loaded with fun...Courtney Symes, BroadwayWorld
