The Feisty Flamingos have lost every softball game this season! They can't seem to agree on anything—who should be up at bat, who should be pitching, or even what stretches to do. Low on granola and self-esteem, can they win the final game of the season? This fast-paced comedy about conflict, communication, and confidence proves that teamwork takes the whole team to work.

Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Tickets will be available at the marked service point 30 minutes prior to the event on a first-come, first-served basis.
