About
With book and lyrics by Catamounts favorite Mickle Maher, and music by avant-rock duo Anthony Barilla and Merel van Dijk, SMALL BALL was birthed from the question: "What about a basketball musical?" This wildly comic, magical answer receives its second production from our intrepid gang under the direction of Jessica Jackson.
Michael Jordan (not THAT Michael Jordan) is a journeyman basketball player whose latest contract is with the Lilliputian Existers (yes, THAT Lilliput--the one from the satirical 18th century novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.) The team isn't doing so well. Michael Jordan won't pass a regulation size basketball to his 6-inch teammates for fear of squashing them. And the post-game press conferences are getting rough.
