In 1943, a pair of baseball-loving sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty) travel to Chicago to try out for the newly formed All-American Girls Professional Baseball league. Managed by a has-been former pro (Tom Hanks), the sisters and their new teammates (including Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell) share laughs and dramas en route to their league’s World Series.
After the screening, author Erin Carlson will join us to discuss her book No Crying in Baseball: The Inside Story of A League of Their Own: Big Stars, Dugout Drama, and a Home Run for Hollywood, for sale on-site.
