TONI STONE

By Lydia R. Diamond
Directed by Tinashe Kajese-Bolden

Considered a pioneer, Toni Stone is the first woman to play baseball in the Negro Leagues, also making her the first woman to play professionally in a men’s league. Against all odds, Toni blazes a path in the male-dominated sports world, breaking through the limitations others placed on her, and creating her own set of rules. Follow Toni’s journey as she fights for love, equality and a chance to do what she wants the most — play some world class baseball. Declared the "Best New Play of 2019" by The Wall Street Journal, TONI STONE is a funny and fascinating story of race, gender, and raw ambition… and an unheralded superstar you’ll never forget. ​

TONI STONE is a co-production with Milwaukee Repertory Theater.

This performance is approximately 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. This production contains strong language, including racial slurs, and topics such as racism, sexism, and sexual harassment.
