The Unexpectedly Timely Radio Golf
Radio Golf,directed by co-founder Brian Weaver and co-produced with Baseroots Theatre Company, is the young company’s strongest production yet, a moving, infuriating enterprise, well acted, directed and designed

Best of all, with the aid of director Brian Weaver they’ve found ways to really show the nuances of all the unfolding relationships: Sterling’s innate distrust of Roosevelt, Mame’s devotion to and frustration with Harmond, both the lasting camaraderie and the widening gulf between Harmond and Roosevelt, and so on. There’s great humor throughout, yet moments of profound connection or bitter division land with clarity and force. They bring the battlefield to life.
