Faust meets professional baseball in this Broadway classic from the creators of The Pajama Game.  Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he’s left behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series. Starring a host of talented alumni and newcomers alike, including Mike Cervantes, Jordan Hougham, Zach Parker, Susan Scharnau, Janelle Steichen, Ric Swann, Mike Wilhelm, and TCR’s very own Casey Prince!
