THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

YCP TheaterWorks will culminate its 46th season with the brilliant and powerful 1973 Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and Critics Circle winner, That Championship Season by Jason Miller.  Directed by Brian DeToma, this riveting drama features Tom Gorman, Paul DeRito, Mark Firestone, Paul Narad and Jesse Rome. The play focuses on five men-- Coach, played by Tom Gorman, the pivotal character in a reunion comprised of former championship team members.  Twenty years ago, they never thought they’d ever be anything less than teammates, champions, heroes and friends.  But two decades of living with a terrible secret can tarnish anything—including the gleam of a sterling silver trophy.  They were the greatest high school basketball team their town had ever seen.  And the glorious night they won the state championship was the crowning moment in each of their lives.  But this night, when the play begins, twenty years after that magnificent victory, four best friends are about to face off against their most formidable opponents ever—each other.

Performed: May 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 19 and 20, 2006
