When light-hitting shortstop turned drive-time sports radio host Edward “Chip” Fuller learns his name will appear on a list of players linked to performance enhancing drugs, he is forced to explain his choice to colleagues, his listeners, and his family. This is the trailer for the short film version of VOR, currently in production.
The short film is based on the 2015 O'Neill National Playwrights Conference Finalist play, commissioned by PlayGround.
In his attempt to put some distance between himself and his brutish father, Patrick stumbles upon a marvelous game of exhibition baseball, where everything is real except the ball. Shadow Ball evokes a time when little boys could hardly wait until they were allowed to wear their first pair of long pants and African American players were forced to wait until they were allowed to play on integrated teams.
