Starring Scott Treadway and Charlie Flynn-McIver

NC Stage Company is excited to present Rounding Third by Richard Dresser, a hilarious comedy about an odd-couple pairing of men who come together to coach a season of little league baseball.

Angie Flynn-McIver is directing the brilliantly funny duo Scott Treadway and Charlie Flynn-McIver. Charlie and Scott were voted the top two best actors in the best of WNC poll.

Two men meet on a field for the first time to coach a Little League team on which their sons are players. Don (Flynn-McIver) is a beer-drinking house painter whose mantra is “winning is everything,” while Michael (Treadway) is a latte-sipping corporate type who stumbled into coaching and believes in “doing the best you can.” The pair inevitably end up clashing as they work together to coach the team.

This delightfully entertaining show will appeal to parents, grandparents, former Little League players and coaches. How will two disparate volunteer coaches come together for a winning little league season?

Founded by Charlie and Angie Flynn-McIver, the theatre has been voted best local theatre eight out of the past nine years in the Mountain Xpress Best of WNC Poll.
