LOMBARDI to Play Scottsdale Desert Stages, 1/23-3/15

Can the worlds of professional football and theater collide? Thanks to all the dramatics that happens on and off the field, it is only fitting that they should. Kicking off Friday January 23rd, 2015, Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre marries both of these together with the opening of LOMBARDI.

The 90-minute play written by Eric Simonson, follows a week in the life in 1965 of the controversial and beloved coach of the Green Bay Packers Vince Lombardi. A young reporter Michael McCormick, played by Chase Reynolds, is determined to discover everything he can about "what makes Lombardi win" and what is the rue method behind the personality.

Playing the title role and taking on the challenge of personifying this legendary man is veteran valley actor Timothy Pittman. He along with Director Mark Clemente have staged a hard hitting, heart-felt, and insightful production that will sure be a touchdown with all fans of theatre and football alike.

The show runs January 23rd, 2015 through March 15th, 2015. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. There have been extra shows added for Super Bowl week- Wednesday and Thursday January 28th and 29th at 7:30pm and Saturday January 31st at 2pm.
