Catching the Moon: The Story of a Young Girl’s Baseball Dream

Catching The Moon: The Story of a Young Girl’s Baseball Dream – February 14-March 2, 2025

Book and Lyrics by Nichole Jackson
Music and Lyrics by Tyrone L. Robinson
Adapted from the book by Crystal Hubbard 

Catching the Moon tells the spirited story of the Black girl who grew up to become “Toni Stone.” She was the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team. Adapted from the award winning book Catching the Moon by Crystal Hubbard.

With the crack of a bat, Marcenia Lyle rounds the bases with ease and slides into home. It’s the ballfield she knows and loves best. So, when famous baseball manager Gabby Street comes scouting players for summer camp, Marcenia steps up to the plate to compete. She’s determined to pursue her passion and defy the naysayers who discourage her from following her dream because she’s a girl.
