APRIL 2001 Must-Sees: FROM APRIL 9TH TO MAY 15TH, NATIONAL PASTIME, AT KEEGAN THEATRE AT CHURCH STREET THEATER, IN WASHINGTON, DC. There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a World Premiere Musical, and being a life-long Yankees fan, I am looking forward to seeing if Keegan Theatre hits a home run with the new musical National Pastime. Music and lyrics are by Al Tapper, and the book is by Tony Sportiello. It’s co-directed by Mark A. Rhea and Susan Marie Rhea, who brought us Keegan’s Helen Hayes Award-winning production of Rent, and musical directed by Jake Null.
The talented cast includes so many of my favoroite DC-area actors: Brian Cali, Larissa Gallagher, John Loughney, Timothy Lynch, Katie McManus, Tim O’Kane, Carolyn Myers, Autumn Seavey, Josh Sticklin, and Dan Van Why. Batter Up!
