Casey at the Bat - The Mime Borough President James Molinaro has declared April as "Art of the Game" month on Staten Island! These projects celebrate the blending of sports and the arts . Sponsored by SI Bank & Trust Foundation and National Executive Service Corps “Casey at the Bat” the well-known poem by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, is the most famous literary piece about baseball ever written. It takes the listener from the beginning of Casey’s humorously arrogant stand at bat through its fateful end. The piece has been called the only truly great comic poem written by an American. Read by a narrator and accompanied by a mime performance, Sundog’s theatrical piece illustrates the comic side of the game of baseball, and the unfolding event’s emotional impact on Casey. At the culmination of the performance, the mimes wordlessly invite children in the audience to come up on stage and learn simple mime technique, which has always been an audience favorite. With mimes Kevin Milnes and Susan Fenley. Running time: 30 minutes.
