Mixed Blood Theatre's "Jackie Robinson" Comes to Lake Superior
(Duluth, Minn.) - Mixed Blood Theatre's acclaimed biography of baseball immortal Jackie Robinson will be presented at Lake Superior College on Tuesday, February 28, 2006. The performance covers the life and career of the first African American in major league baseball. It begins at noon.
Set in the Brooklyn Dodgers' World Series locker room, "Jackie Robinson" is much more than a collection of baseball anecdotes. It is the spellbinding story of a man overcoming extraordinary obstacles. It illuminates not only Robinson's Dodgers career, but also brings to life his childhood, college years, and Army service. What emerges is a portrait of a fiery competitor and courageous individual whose leadership and influence reached far beyond the confines of the baseball diamond.
"Jackie Robinson" is produced by the Mixed Blood Theatre Company. Mixed Blood is a multi-racial professional company promoting cultural pluralism, individual equality, and artistic excellence.
Performance is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
