Cooperstown [3] - Junior

The play is set in a diner in Cooperstown, New York, in 1962, when Jackie Robinson is about to become the first black man to enter the Hall of Fame. The historic moment and other civil rights issues of the day underscore the trials of each of the five characters: Junior, the diner's hardworking manager who can't get a promotion; Sharee, his activist-leaning little sister; Dylan, a waitress obsessed with Bob Dylan; the diner owner's wife Grace; and Huck, an Ohio minor league catcher who comes into town for the induction ceremony.see less
