Mike Wiley will perform his one-person play "A Game Apart," Thursday, March 26 at Piedmont Arts. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. in the galleries.
"A Game Apart" provides a glimpse of Jackie Robinson’s life during a bygone era of separate and unequal locker rooms, of whites-only hotels, and of restaurants with only a back door for colored athletes to enter. Witness the hopeless humiliation of a star player who was showered with adulation on the field and became a second-hand citizen when he walked off the diamond. Meet Jackie’s compatriots fighting the same battles between the end zones, inside the ring and around the track. A Game Apart is a powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance and leadership.
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for students in grades K-12.
