Detroit Tigers centerfielder Ty Cobb is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time; he's also roundly remembered as one of the profession's biggest jerks. Probably the most despised player of his generation -- if not ever -- Cobb may have been setting all kinds of records back in the 'teens and '20s, but he was also racking up enemies at an equal clip. In this pseudo-bio-drama by Lee Blessing (A Walk in the Woods, Black Sheep), Cobb steps out of time to encounter himself at various stages in his life. It's an exploration of humanity that goes beyond baseball and a single man, into the nature of successful people in general and the influences of their upbringing on the personalities they eventually become.

With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend me a Tenor. Learn More

To enjoy this play you should have some knowledge of baseball history. Ty Cobb was probably the greatest baseball player of all time. But, he was a mean, hateful individual. This all comes out in this one act play.
