Media Reviews
"[Kids] learn about Jackie Robinson, racial discrimination and restraining one's temper to achieve a larger goal. … The show is truthful, fun and filled with worthy life lessons for kids." -Chicagocritic.com"Moving … empowering … this is not a play about celebrity worship or mere historical awareness but a strikingly sophisticated exploration of what having a hero can do for a young man as well as what the admiration of a young man can do for a role model who doesn't yet know what that means and is just trying to hit a ball." -Chicago Tribune
"Robinson's powerhouse contribution to the game he loved, and to the American civil-rights movement, are well chronicled in Jackie & Me." -Seattle Times
