The Stands Written and Directed by Jack Neary Co-Produced with ACTING OUT NEWBURYPORT Four moms, one grandmother and one dad huddle together in the chill of a New England Saturday morning as they wait for their kids to begin their first Little League practice of the year. As we get to know them, we’re surprised, entertained and sometimes even shocked by what they have to say. Underneath the delightful banter, however, is the measured revelation of a horrible, life-changing moment they all will share before the end of the play. From the author of the Players’ Ring’s recent hit, Moonglow, comes this stunning, suspenseful story about kids and parents and the shattering power of words.
