Calling the Game

by Lynn Millar

A Monologue: An Announcer wakes up to find they are making the calls of a baseball game from under the bleachers. How do they figure it out? By the sounds? By imaginations? What inning is it anyway?

Calling the Game

  • James Binz: Calling the Game

    A clever monologue - the announcer is a frazzled, sleepy fellow in a game of no apparent consequence. He sleepwalks through a run producing inning and heads out for garlic fries. You can almost smell the place!

  • Robert Weibezahl: Calling the Game

    A charming and imaginative dream monologue that pays homage in a very unusual way to the intrinsic love many have for America’s pastime. CALLING THE GAME captures the visceral drama of baseball through tropes – its rhythms and pauses, the sound of the bat and roar of the crowd – without ever showing a moment of the game itself. Clever stuff.
