The Sweetest Swing in Baseball

It’s an unlikely premise for a comedy: A charismatic artist ends up in a psych ward after a notably bad gallery show, having attempted suicide. When she realizes that her health insurance won’t allow her to stay in the hospital for much longer, she decided to fake a mental illnessand a quirky one at that. She tries to convince mental health professionals that she thinks she’s Major League Baseball star Darryl Strawberry, a challenge given how little she knows about the towering baseball legend. Mary MacDonald Kerr stars in the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre’s production of The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, which runs through May 2 at the Broadway Theatre Center.
