Adapted by Steven Dietz from the novel by Dan Gutman and directed by Jeff Award winner Derrick Sanders, Jackie and Me tells the story of one of history’s greatest baseball players, Jackie Robinson. I’m part of a terrific cast and crew on this one! Check it out at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N. Dearborn Street right here in Chicago.
