The excellent English/Spanish language production of José Cruz Gonzalez’s UNDER A BASEBALL SKY, adds an intercultural presence to the area’s theatre scene that is a welcome addition both for actors and audience!  ¡muy bien!

Eric Schmiedl's direction manages the complex dynamics of the characters while assistant director Jonathan Rodriguez undoubtably ensures a patina of Latin authenticity.

Mark Horning

Precise writing coupled with superb directing packs this short show with a high degree of emotions and circumstances. Hugely entertaining with a large measure of moral lessons to think about after the bows. This show is well worth seeing.

Cruz González created this play, “inspired by a neighborhood in California,” including his hometown, Watsonville, a migrant town, to celebrate the power and beauty of “communities and individuals coming together to find hope, healing, love, and the occasional home run” (program note).  Under the direction of Schmiedl, the creative team has done a remarkable job, presenting the depth and weight of Chicano history and people by relating the past to the present and the future.
