“ Lipstick. Short Skirts. Grit. The Game was for Real.”
A touring play featuring Saskatchewan's baseball heritage is being hosted by the Battlefords Community Players and the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame next week.
Diamond Girl, written by Maureen Ulrich, is a one-woman show that recounts exploits of three Saskatchewan women who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s.
It is coming to the Battlefords for one show only, Tuesday, Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at 102-26th Street in Battleford. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased by calling 306-446-3133 or at the door starting at 7 p.m.
The show was commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in Regina and the actress and writer are from Saskatchewan. The production is Saskatchewan-produced and funded with support of Saskatchewan Lotteries. The show has been touring across Saskatchewan and Alberta so don’t miss this opportunity to see the show right here in the Battlefords Community Players Clubhouse.
In other Battlefords Community Players news, the group will be holding an open house and auditions at their clubhouse at 102-26th Street in Battleford Aug. 29 and 30. Anyone who is interested and wants to know about the club is welcome to come and meet some of the members and find out if they think this would work for them. Please drop in either night starting at 7 p.m. for the open house and 8 p.m. for auditions.
There is a place for everyone in the club – acting, directing, building, sewing, painting, putting up posters or hosting at events. No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome.
If you are not able to attend either of those nights and would still like more information or the opportunity to get involved please call 306-446-3133 and leave a message.
