World Premiere

The classic 1976 Paramount Pictures film The Bad News Bears steps off the screen and onto the stage in this world premiere in San Francisco! Originally penned by Bill Lancaster, this new adaptation features music by Brian Feinstein with book and lyrics by Eric Garcia, choreography by Steph Paul, and all brought together under the direction of Sherri Eden Barber. With the original source material celebrated as a cult classic for its irreverent take on the American underdog story, this production infuses the Bay Area's spirit of rooting for the outsider into its DNA. 

What is the story?

A cynical, washed-up ex-baseball player finds himself leading a sorry group of Little League rejects. And just for a nice extra dose of personal friction, among the roster of un-coordinated teens is his own ex-stepdaughter. But as the team struggles to find their footing, in this story of second chances and persistence the team may yet transition from a band of losers into a second-family of winners.
