I think this was the second poster concept I produced for A Big Day for Baseball playing now at The Shakes (812 E Rollins Street, Orlando, FL 32803). Jackie Robinson in in the dugout and childhood fans are clamoring for an autograph while leaning over the roof of the dugout. I don’t know if this is historically accurate but it should have been.
A Big Day for Baseball: A Magic Tree House Adventure runs through March 18, 2023. The show is a fun musical romp based on the book A Big Day for Baseball from the acclaimed Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne! I read the script and it sounds like a fun time but I haven’t seen the show yet.
The Magic Tree House whisks the siblings, Jack and Annie, away to a baseball game in 1947 Brooklyn, New York, where they meet baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson and must figure out what’s so special about this specific game – in under nine innings!
