Line of Scrimmage

High-performance athletes are breaking away from the end zone to put on this show just for you. We didn’t arrive at this moment by accident. Every sprint, every drill, every team meeting; it all brought us here. We’ve trained for this….come see us play. 

‘Line of Scrimmage’ is a dance, theater, comedy, football game that fumbles its way through a classic (and yet maybe not so classic) sports movie narrative. The show follows a team from practice up until the big game exploring camaraderie and gender diversity in sports. We ask the questions: who gets to tackle who? And who gets to create separation and division on and off the field? In general, the show attempts a Hail Mary pass at critiquing the good and the not so good of sports and sports culture following. Expect balls flying, kickers punting, and false starts at an all time high. Oh ya, and I heard the marching band is good this year. 

(to the sports fans- artists do not read) love of art is not required, we have SO much sport ball here for you!
