Value Over Replacement
Join us for the world premiere of Ruben Grijalva's VALUE OVER REPLACEMENT. Ruben Grijalva’s Value Over Replacement is an insightful look at America’s favorite pastime and the choices players face to stay in the game. At five-foot-seven, one-hundred-sixty pounds, light-hitting shortstop turned drive-time sports radio host Edward “Chip” Fuller is hardly the poster-boy for baseball’s steroid era. But when he learns his name will appear on a list of players linked to performance enhancing drugs, Chip is forced to explain his choice to colleagues, his listeners, and his family. In doing so, he must choose between a bland public apology and a much more difficult confession: that if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't change a thing. Value Over Replacement is a 2016 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award recipient, 2015 O’Neill National Playwrights Conference Finalist, and a 2015 Bay Area Playwrights Festival Semi-Finalist. It was commissioned and originally developed by PlayGround. PlayGround Artistic Director Jim Kleinmann is directing. The cast features Jomar Tagatac*, Melissa Ortiz*, Alex Shafer*, Stephanie Prentice*, Martha Brigham* and Christian Haines*. * An Equity-approved project.
