Breaking Barriers On Stage: Chattanooga Ballet’s “Curveball” At UTC
(Chattanooga Ballet)
(Aired Tues 4/08/25)
Nearly a century ago, a female baseball player from Chattanooga struck out not one - but two - baseball stars of the New York Yankees: Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Her name was Jackie Mitchell.
On Friday, Chattanooga Ballet presents a new ballet inspired by her story: “Curveball.”
The performances are Friday and Saturday at 7 PM - with a matinee on Sunday at 3 PM - at the Roland Hayes Concert Hall here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Brian McSween is CEO and artistic director of Chattanooga Ballet.
Mary Kate Shearer plays Lou - short for Louise - the character inspired by Jackie Mitchell.
