JB To Sing National Anthem at Central Park On Thursday!
May 6th, 2007Washington Post reporter Anne McDonough has an interesting article about ways you can become acquainted on your next trip to Central Park.
Turns out you don’t have to head to Broadway to catch the crews from Broadway shows, the reporter suggests that you just hang out at the Heckscher ball fields in the park’s southern section, where for more than 50 years, the Broadway Show League — actors, stagehands and other theater types — has played softball. Games are Thursdays from about 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., from April through the middle of August. Just grab a spot in the stands and watch the theater folks pitch, hit and slide.
Mark Your Calendars! On Thursday at about 11:15 a.m., cast members from Jersey Boys will sing the national anthem; Darlene Love (“Hairspray”) and Boyd Gaines (“Journey’s End”) are among the other actors expected.
How fun!! What a great way to spend a summer afternoon. Thanks for the info.

Darn! If it was taking place a week later I would be in NYC. Oh well…it sounds like it will be a great event!
