2. Bleacher Bums

Conceived by Joe Mantegna

Written by The Organic Theatre Company

Directed by Michael Glorioso

Enjoy popcorn, peanuts and a cold beer with a nine-inning comedy about the "Loveable Losers!"

In the bleachers at Chicago's Wrigley Field, die hard Cub fans root for their team. The group includes a rabid cheerleader, a blind woman who follows the game by transistor radio and does her own play by play, a bathing beauty, a nerd and various other bleacher denizens. As the game proceeds, they bet among themselves on every conceivable event, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty and, occasionally, watch the game.
