Ghetto Babylon Michael Mejias

Full-Length Play "Ghetto Babylon hits it out of the park!" -BroadwayWorld It's the summer of 1982 in the Boogie Down. Charlie Rosa, a Puerto Rican kid with a free ride to the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy, has just pitched his West Farms Warriors into the Bronx-Wide Little League Championship. Life is good- real good. But when a letter arrives from Exeter requesting Charlie arrive earlier than originally planned, he must choose between pursing Little League glory with his boys and the educational opportunity of a lifetime. With his usually level-headed cousin Felix too busy chasing Sarafina Santos, and his best friend, The Spectacular, too busy being, well, a nut-bag, who can he turn to? How about The Catcher in the Rye? (1F, 5M)
