Tom Erb's PAPA'S WORLD SERIES is a march down memory lane - especially those of us with Pittsburgh roots having spent time at Forbes Field. It's not an entirely happy parade though as disturbing family secrets are revealed and digested. Are we dealing with a ghost? Or perhaps Tommy is navigating a conversation with an inner voice? Either way - this is an effective piece highlighting the power of reminiscence. Very stageable.
