Twenty-six years as a professional actor/director and a lifetime as a baseball fan have made Ralph Elias stark raving sane — and a playwright. In Player’s Joy he takes you for a funny, eccentric, provocative trot around the bases of diamond and stage, through a dark clubhouse of painful memory, and back into sunlight. An American story told in an original style reminiscent of Spaulding Gray and Bob Costas (with a little help from Will Shakespeare) we think you’ll find Player’s Joy to be just what the title implies!
