 "The Sweetest Swing in
Baseball," written by Rebecca Gilman, is a drama that opens with a
successful artist, Dana Fielding, who experiences a disastrous
gallery showing. With her personal life in shambles, the artist
finds safety in a psychiatric hospital, but her insurance company
will only pay for 10 days. In desperate need of a more
hospital-worthy illness, Dana pretends to believe she is former
baseball player Darryl Strawberry. With hilarious dialogue and rich
characters, viewers will experience the state of health insurance,
the legacy of fame and ways in which we re-craft our identity.
