SUMMARY:She Plays! A reading in the Catskills
DESCRIPTION:SHE PLAYS by Cindy Cooper tells the riveting stories of six women from sports history who break barriers and challenge stereotypes. Their struggles and successes\, shared by two performers\, reveal the inner strength that inspires people to overcome obstacles on any field of endeavor.\n\nThe stories in the play include:\n-Gertrude Ederle\, known as “America’s sweetheart\,” swims the English Channel with such speed that she beats the records of the men before her by five hours.\n-Althea Gibson rises from a rugged childhood to become the first African-American star in world-class tennis.\n-Gretel Bergmann crashes derogatory notions of athleticism as a Jewish-German track medalist preparing to compete in the 1936 “Nazi” Olympics.\n-Wilma Rudolph\, once advised by doctors that she would never walk\, instead becomes the fastest woman sprinter in international competition.\n-Mamie (Peanut) Johnson takes to the mound in professional baseball as a winning pitcher in the all-male Negro Leagues after being turned down by women’s teams.\n-Babe Didrikson\, an all-around athlete of towering confidence and unmatched ability\, earns four track and field world titles in one day and later captivates the golf world.
