Costumes will be designed by Xavier alumna Mrs. Mary Romine, also with student assistance in design and execution.

It is summer baseball season for the Wolves, and you are in the middle of the action! The Baseball Show is a light-hearted comedy that follows a co-ed baseball team through their season, highlighting the team but also offering a glimpse into the lives of the fans, other players, families, and all who possess a love of the game. Performed in the round, the audience will sit in bleachers surrounding the “baseball field” on stage. Xavier welcomes students, families, alumnae, friends and the entire community to join in the joy and laughter of The Baseball Show.
