With the crack of a bat and a heart full of determination, young Marcenia Lyle dreams of nothing more than playing baseball. She knows the ballfield is where she truly belongs, even if others say it’s no place for a girl. When a famous manager comes scouting for summer camp, Marcenia steps up to the plate, ready to prove she has what it takes. Catching the Moon tells the powerful, true story of the Black girl who defied expectations and became Toni Stone—the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team. Full of rhythm, grit, and heart, this inspiring tale celebrates the courage to dream big and the strength to break barriers.

BCT’S MASK POLICY

BCT’s Mask Policy for the 2022-2023 season will follow closely the recommendations set forth by the CDC based on COVID-19 Community Levels. When Jefferson County is at a HIGH level of community spread, masks will be required of all patrons in the Wee Folks Theatre and Playspace as well as for participants in classes; and, masks will be highly encouraged in the MainStage Theatre. We wish to avoid any outbreaks in the organization because a significant portion of our workforce, specifically our onstage artists, work without the benefit of masks. Behind the scenes, we will continue to follow strict protocols to keep our shows on stage and to create a safe work environment for artists and staff.
