Ever wonder just what made “Mighty Casey” strike out that memorable day in Muddville? Ever think you could find out while simultaneously being entertained by the citizens of Muddville? Based on Ernest Thayer's immortal poem, “Casey at the Bat”, Batter Up reveals the answer, and then shows what happened next. This original musical, directed by Carol Puckett, premiered at the Princess Theatre in Decatur, Alabama, in May, 1996, with a constellation of tunes folks are still humming. You will, too. Batter Up barrels breathtakingly along in song and dance and guarantees a full evening’s entertainment for the whole family. Be sure and step up to the plate for this one and "Play ball!"
