ANNOUNCING THE LINEUP FOR 7TH INNING STRETCH: FIFA EDITION
For one night only, Mile Square Theatre’s beloved annual fundraiser returns with a World Cup-inspired twist! Join us on June 6 for seven brand-new original short plays celebrating the game’s passion, humor, intensity, and culture.
For more than 20 years, Mile Square Theatre has presented this annual event celebrating Hoboken as the birthplace of baseball. Each year, an entirely new lineup of original short plays is created specifically for the event, bringing together playwrights, directors, actors, and designers from across New Jersey and New York City. Over the years, 7th Inning Stretch has engaged more than 1,000 artists and become one of MST’s most anticipated annual traditions.
This year’s FIFA Edition continues that tradition while embracing the excitement and global spirit of soccer through seven brand-new original works performed for one night only.
