Boar's Head Players Announce 2009 Summer Season

The Boar’s Head Players Announce the 2009 summer season. Season tickets are on sale today. Call 479-575-3946 for information.

Bleacher Bums, conceived by Joe Mantegna and written by the Organic Theatre Company, will be performed on June 19, 20 and 24-27 at 8 p.m. and June 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. This comedy abounds in the hallowed bleachers of Wrigley Field as the Cubbies take on the Cards in this nine-inning homage to America’s favorite pastime. Die-hard Chicago Cub fans gather in the “cheap seats” to root, root, root for the home team, heckle the outfielders, bet on every conceivable event and, occasionally, watch the game!

“Cheerful, boisterous and fun.”
