THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON
JACOBS THEATRE, 242 West 45th Street
Crossing the Line
Two-time Olivier Award winner Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity), Jim Gaffigan (Salvation Boulevard), Golden Globe nominee Chris Noth (The Good Wife, Sex and the City), Jason Patric (Cat On A Hot Tin Roof) and Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland (24) star in this revival of Jason Miller’s Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play which returns to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement. Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Gregory Mosher
(A View From The Bridge), That Championship Season is a drama about the promise of youth … and the challenge of staying in the game. For over two decades, four players and the coach of a high school championship basketball team have gathered every year to re-live their greatest moment of glory. While three of the players have found small-town success, the fourth has never found his way. At this year’s reunion, tensions boil over, and as the celebratory evening turns brutal, long-held secrets bubble to the surface and life-long bonds are shattered.
