Toni Stone is a teenager growing up in the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul, MN. She’s an encyclopedia of baseball stats. She’s got a great arm. And she doesn’t understand why she can't play with the boys. A vibrant new play about the first woman to go pro in the Negro League. Come see the inspiring story of a woman who shattered the glass ceiling and played by her own rules.
“More than just providing illuminating theater and timely social commentary, Toni Stone gives long overdue credit to a woman who had to fight as hard as or harder than any man in her sport just to play the game she loved — and make a living at. The qualities and achievements of such a person are worth attention and emulation. You know Jackie Robinson. Now meet Toni Stone.” -Theatermania
In ‘Toni Stone,' there is both tension and joy in story about baseball and racism. – Chicago Tribune
